What is Elbow Arthroscopy?

Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows your surgeon to evaluate and in some cases treat certain elbow conditions. During the procedure your surgeon will make small incisions in your elbow called portals. A tiny camera is then placed in the portals and the interior space of the elbow can be visualized, problems can be identified and then properly treated.
