Elbow arthroscopy is an advanced minimally invasive surgical technique that allows visualization and treatment of elbow joint pathology through small portal incisions using a specialized camera and instruments. This technically demanding procedure has revolutionized the treatment of various elbow conditions, offering superior outcomes compared to traditional open surgery with less pain, faster recovery, and better preservation of normal anatomy. Dr. Kumar performs elbow arthroscopy to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions including tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) unresponsive to conservative treatment, golfer's elbow, loose bodies causing locking or catching, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD lesions), synovitis, elbow stiffness with contractures, post-traumatic arthritis, and certain fractures. The procedure is particularly valuable for athletes and overhead workers whose livelihoods depend on elbow function and rapid return to activity. The surgery involves creating 2-4 small portals (approximately 5mm each) around the elbow to insert the arthroscope and instruments. Dr. Kumar carefully navigates around crucial neurovascular structures including the ulnar, radial, and median nerves, which lie in close proximity to standard portal sites. Using high-definition cameras and specialized micro-instruments, he can remove loose bodies, debride damaged cartilage, release scar tissue causing stiffness, remove bone spurs, and perform capsular releases to improve motion. In cases of tennis elbow, the damaged extensor tendon origin can be debrided and the underlying bone stimulated to promote healing. One of the key advantages of arthroscopic treatment is the ability to address multiple pathologies simultaneously. Many patients with chronic elbow pain have a combination of issues—loose bodies, synovitis, and early arthritis—all of which can be treated in a single arthroscopic session. The procedure also allows for thorough irrigation of the joint, removing inflammatory mediators and debris that contribute to ongoing symptoms. Recovery from elbow arthroscopy is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing immediate relief from mechanical symptoms like locking and catching. Early range of motion exercises begin within days of surgery to prevent stiffness, which is the primary complication to avoid in elbow surgery. Dr. Kumar achieves 85-90% excellent outcomes in appropriately selected patients, with most returning to full activity within 3-4 months. The procedure is performed as day surgery, allowing patients to go home the same day.
