Video Summary
The speaker discusses arthroscopic management of elbow arthritis, common in middle-aged males, causing pain, motion loss, and loose bodies. Non-surgical treatments help, but surgery is for cases with significant functional deficits or loose bodies. Arthroscopy offers thorough joint assessment with less damage than open surgery. Key factors in technique choice include joint congruity, hardware, heterotopic ossification, and ulnar nerve symptoms, which can be subtle. Preoperative 3D CT scans aid surgical planning. The speaker advocates using handheld osteotomes for precise osteophyte removal and warns of potential post-op ulnar neuritis. Overall, arthroscopic debridement is safe and effective for most elbow arthritis cases.
