Full Description
This book offers a comprehensive yet practical guide to elbow arthroscopy, covering both foundational concepts and advanced surgical techniques.
It begins with the basics—anatomy, portal placement, surgical setup—and progresses through a wide range of arthroscopic procedures for common elbow conditions including lateral and medial epicondylitis, fractures, instability, cubital tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, stiffness, and tendon injuries.
Each technique is presented with pathoanatomical context, clinical indications, and outcomes, making the content both evidence-based and applicable to daily practice. Special focus is placed on state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques designed to minimize tissue damage, including ligament reconstruction, post-traumatic stiff elbow release, osteocapsular arthroplasty, and fracture fixation.
In addition to detailed descriptions, the book is richly illustrated with surgical photographs and videos, allowing readers to visually grasp arthroscopic procedures and gain practical insights from real clinical cases.
