Abstract

Arthroscopy of the elbow is a very precise and demanding procedure due to the closeness of the recommended portals to neurovascular structures and complexity of articular geometry. So to establish safe portal is not always reproducible especially in case of stiff elbow, even for the experienced arthroscopist. We described new tip of elbow arthroscopy using a new starting portal. This procedure is almost always reproducible even in stiff elbow, and minimizes risk of damage to neurovascular structures.

Key Words: Elbow arthroscopy-Transarticular portal.
