Abstrakt: The elbow has been referred to as the unforgiving joint. Arthroscopy for treating elbow arthritis is both challenging and rewarding. Most joints require arthroplasty for treatment of arthritis, but the elbow is amenable to osteocapsular debridement. This is especially beneficial when elbow arthroplasty options have high complication rates and the need for permanent physical limitations. Thus, when treating arthritis, the elbow is more forgiving than once thought.
