Zusammenfassung

Die Bewegungseinschränkung des Ellenbogens kann intrinsische und extrinsische Ursachen haben und tritt meist posttraumatisch auf. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es einerseits dem Leser aufzuzeigen, wann diese Kontrakturen mittels arthroskopischer Techniken suffizient gelöst werden können. Auf der anderen Seite werden die Grenzen der Arthroskopie und die Indikationen zum offenen Vorgehen besprochen. Eine kurze Technikbeschreibung und mögliche Komplikationen werden aufgezeigt. Ein möglicher Algorithmus in der Behandlung der Ellenbogensteife wird vorgestellt.

Abstract

Limited range of motion of the elbow joint is caused by intrinsic and extrinsic causes and most often occur after trauma to the elbow. The reasons for contracture as well as the differential indication for arthroscopic and open procedures are discussed. Technical considerations and complications are presented; a possible treatment algorithm is introduced.
