ARTHROSCOPIC DEBRIDEMENT AND CAPSULAR RELEASE

In many patients with elbow arthritis, a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure can be performed with good results. This surgery utilizes small incisions and arthroscopic instruments to remove arthritic bone, loose bodies, and release stiff tissue that is limiting smooth full motion. In the young to middle aged patient with elbow arthritis, the arthroscopic debridement and capsular release procedure has proven helpful in restoring function and decreasing pain, delaying the need for a joint replacement.
