What Is Elbow Arthroscopy?

elbow

Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to view and treat the inside of the elbow joint using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions.

At Elite Ortho, elbow arthroscopy is commonly used to:

  • Release scar tissue
  • Remove loose bodies
  • Debride arthritic areas
  • Treat cartilage damage

This advanced technique enables precise treatment while reducing trauma to surrounding tissues—resulting in a faster and less painful recovery than traditional open surgery.

Expectations Pre, Post, and During The Surgery.

Before Surgery

When surgery is recommended, your care team will assist with the pre-op steps. You can get medical clearance from your primary care doctor, which would include:

  • Bloodwork.
  • EKG.
  • Chest X-ray.
  • Additional evaluations if needed.
Before the procedure, you’ll get a call from the hospital or surgery center with instructions.

  • When to stop eating or drinking.
  • What to bring on surgery day.
  • Arrival time and logistics.

Pre-operative patients are encouraged to voice their questions to assure complete understanding.

Before Surgery
The Day of Surgery

The anesthesia team will meet you when you arrive. Most probably, you’ll be given general an aesthesia along with a regional nerve block. This will help to numb your arm and help relieve pain after surgery.

Once in the operating room:

  • Your elbow will be cleaned with antiseptic and draped in a sterile field.
  • Your arm will be secured in a stable position.
  • Fluid will be pumped into the joint to improve visibility.
  • Small camera will project images of your elbow onto monitor (13 words)
  • The procedure will be performed by inserting small instruments through an incision (minimum 1-3). This will include cutting, shaving, suture, or removing whichever is damaged—such as tissue, bone chips.

After the operation, your cut will be sewn up and will be covered in a soft bandage.

The Day of Surgery
After Surgery

You’ll stay in a recovery room for 1-2 hours where your condition will be watched and your pain managed. You’ll go home the same day. Make sure you have someone available to drive you and stay with you the first night.

  • Key post-op considerations.
  • You may feel some pain. Pain meds and icing will help.
  • The sleeping position of a patient – many patients sleep in a recliner/ with the arm propped.
  • We will teach you how to change your dressings and when to follow up.

  • Physical therapy.
  • Gentle range of motion exercises.
  • Strengthening routines over time.


Restoration of elbow function is required to eliminate stiffness on arm and enable use. At Elite Ortho DMV, we will take you through the whole process while providing constant advice and follow-up care.
