Understanding Elbow Arthroscopy - Jason Klein, MD

Dr. Jason Klein delves into the specifics of elbow arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique that utilizes small incisions around the elbow for the introduction of a camera and instruments. Dr. Klein explains how this procedure is particularly beneficial for treating mechanical symptoms, such as loose bodies and early arthritis, osteochondral lesions, cartilage injuries in athletes, and certain types of fractures along the joint surface. He emphasizes the procedure's soft tissue-sparing approach, which avoids opening up the entire joint. However, Dr. Klein also outlines the limitations of elbow arthroscopy, noting that it is not suitable for all elbow injuries. Conditions like distal biceps ruptures, triceps injuries, end-stage arthritis requiring elbow replacement, and nerve compressions necessitate more open surgical approaches. This video is essential viewing for anyone seeking to understand the applications and limitations of elbow arthroscopy in orthopedic surgery.
