Analysis of Factors Influencing the Arthroscopic Release of Elbow stiffness

摘要

Introduction & Aims: To study the different etiological factors of elbowstiffness and to determine their outcomes after arthroscopic arthrolysis.Methods: From January 2008 to September 2016, 129 patients (130 elbows) with elbow joint were treated with elbow arthroscopic arthrolysis.There were 85 males (86 elbows), 44 females (44 elbows), with an averageage of 35.9 years. Post-operatively, all patients underwent same rehabilitation protocol and were followed-up regularly with a mean follow-up of2.5 years. We used Mayo score, modified HSS score and ROM to comparepreoperative and postoperative scores.
