SUMMARY — THE REDUCTIONReviews arthroscopic-assisted fixation techniques for adult elbow fractures, particularly anterior coronoid and capitellum injuries, emphasizing safe, less invasive approaches.

Abstract, as published

Arthroscopic-assisted fracture fixation can be used for some adult elbow fractures. In particular, for articular fractures of the anterior elbow (coronoid/capitellum), elbow arthroscopy can provide excellent visualization of fracture fragments using a less invasive surgical exposure. Meticulous adherence to safe techniques and utilization of specialized equipment can help maximize safety and facilitate reproducible surgical results.
