Arthroscopy of the elbow is a very precise and demanding procedure due to the closeness of the recommended portals to neurovascular structures and complexity of articular geometry. So to establish safe portal is not always reproducible especially in case of stiff elbow, even for the experienced arthroscopist. We described new tip of elbow arthroscopy using a new starting portal. This procedure is almost always reproducible even in stiff elbow, and minimizes risk of damage to neurovascular structures.

Arthroscopy is recognized as an important adjunct in treatment of intra-articular fractures. The author reports on successful treatment of a displaced transverse glenoid cavity fracture, reduced and fixed with arthroscopic assist, using two cannulated screws perpendicular to the fracture surface, in a patient with frail chest. One screw passed through the Neviaser portal, and the other screw passed through the base of the coracoid process. Arthroscopy assisted reduction and 2 cannulated screw fixation through the Neviaser portal and coracoid base appears to be a good method for treatment of transverse glenoid fractures.

We report a case of simultaneous anterior and posterior interosseous nerve syndrome in association with shoulder arthroscopy. Shoulder arthroscopy was performed in a 45-year-old male patient with left shoulder instability. In the right lateral decubitus position, under general anesthesia, traction was applied with elbow extension for 2 hours. One week after surgery, the patient revisited the clinic for weakness of the flexor of the thumb, index finger, and extensor of the fingers. Recovery was not achieved after four months of observation. Therefore, nerve exploration was performed in the anterior and posterior interosseous nerve and hourglass-like fascicular constriction was detected in the posterior interosseous nerve. The area of constriction was removed and epineural neurorrhaphy was performed. Three months after exploration, the extension function of the fingers was recovered. Recovery was achieved gradually, and, five months after nerve exploration, the symptoms were completely recovered. Simultaneous anterior and posterior interosseous nerve syndrome following shoulder arthroscopy is rare. However, it could occur due to the traction and position of the patient. Thus, the operator should be careful of traction and position of the patient.

1) The superior labrum-biceps complex contributes to shoulder stability. 2) Injuries to the superior labrum Decrease torsional rigidity Place a greater strain on the IGHL 3) Arthroscopy enables diagnosis and treatment of superior labrum lesions.

Adult type of osteochondritis dissecans of elbow is very rare condition. We describe a case of a osteochondritis dissecans of capitellum in 51-year-old male patient. We performed arthroscopy procedure for removal of loose osteochondral fragments. After I year follow-up, the patient gained good result.

Although arthroscopic surgery has been used conventionally, it has not been widely adopted yet due to the risks of complications, including nerve damage, technical difficulties, and limited indications. As shown in other joints, however, the use of an arthroscope will gradually increased in the elbow joint ('Arthroscopy always wins'). Herein, arthroscopic treatments and arthroscopic ulnar nerve decompression will be discussed in cases of elbow osteoarthritis.
