Abstract

Arthroscopy of the elbow is a relatively recent surgical procedure. Although the first experience described in the literature dates back to the 80s, it is only in the last 15 years that a real and increasing interest can be seen with the inclusion of series of patients [1] and case reports that describe the research for new indications.
