Arthroscopy of the elbow joint
Arthroscopy of the elbow joint is a minimally invasive surgical intervention that allows for accurate diagnosis and simultaneous treatment of joint injuries.
The peculiarity of the elbow joint lies in its complex structure, due to which the elbow is very mobile and prone to injury. Arthroscopy allows the diagnosis of the joint and the necessary treatment without performing large incisions.
Arthroscopy is generally more effective than traditional "open" surgery on the elbow joint, since the integrity of healthy tissues is preserved and the recovery time is significantly reduced. The procedure involves the use of an arthroscope, a special tool with a camera and micro—tools inserted through small punctures, which minimizes injury and accelerates recovery.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours, based on the difficulty of the intervention. The surgeon inserts an arthroscope and micro-instruments through several small punctures. The procedure displays the elbow joint cavity and allows to perform the necessary manipulations to treat the injury and restore the joint structure.

It is important to start developing the joint as early as possible to minimize the risk of stiffness (limited mobility and stiffness, which the elbow joint is prone to). The rehabilitologist selects a comprehensive recovery program, including physical therapy, massage and physiotherapy. Patients usually return to an active lifestyle and sports activities after 1-2 months, but with complex operations, recovery may take longer.
