Outcomes of arthroscopic elbow contracture release: Improvement for severe prosupination and flexion contracture

Arthroscopy Jul 30, 2021

Beck CM, Gluck MJ, Zhang Y, et al. - This study was carried out to assess outcomes following arthroscopic elbow contracture release to describe the utilization of arthroscopy for improvement in extension/flexion and pronation/supination arcs of motion at a single institution for degenerative and post-traumatic etiologies. Between 2003 and 2015, researchers retrospectively examined consecutive arthroscopic elbow arthrolysis performed. They recorded and examined basic patient demographics, indications for surgery, preoperative and postoperative elbow range of motion, postoperative patient outcome score, and all complications. The study enrolled a total of 52 individuals with an average follow-up of 5.1 years (range 1.4 to 9.4). Arthroscopic elbow contracture release was found to be an effective intervention for degenerative and post-traumatic elbow contracture for both flexion/extension and pronosupination contracture. Moreover, a two-stage release should be considered when both flexion and pronosupinaton contractures are present.
