The surfaces of the bones where they meet to form the elbow joint are covered with articular cartilage, a smooth substance that protects the bones and enables them to move easily.

A thin, smooth tissue called the synovial membrane covers all remaining surfaces inside the elbow joint. In a healthy elbow, this membrane makes a small amount of fluid that lubricates the cartilage and eliminates almost any friction as you bend and rotate your arm.

Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various elbow conditions, offering patients a quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery. During elbow arthroscopy, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through tiny incisions around the elbow joint, allowing the surgeon to visualize the internal structures such as bones, cartilage, and ligaments on a monitor. This precise visualization enables the surgeon to address issues like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, loose bodies, and even fractures with greater accuracy. By using specialized instruments, the surgeon can repair damaged tissues, remove loose fragments, and alleviate pain and stiffness in the elbow joint. Additionally, elbow arthroscopy typically results in smaller scars, reduced risk of infection, and faster return to daily activities compared to traditional surgery. However, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, which should be discussed thoroughly with a healthcare provider. Overall, elbow arthroscopy offers an effective and less invasive option for individuals seeking relief from elbow pain and dysfunction, promoting a faster recovery and improved quality of life.
