Advanced Minimally Invasive Elbow Arthroscopy by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various elbow joint problems using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions.
The elbow joint is formed by the humerus, radius, and ulna bones and is essential for bending, straightening, and rotational movements of the arm. Injuries, inflammation, or degenerative conditions can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced elbow arthroscopy using high-definition visualization to accurately identify and treat conditions such as loose bodies, cartilage damage, and joint stiffness.
This minimally invasive technique allows precise treatment with minimal tissue disruption, resulting in faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved functional outcomes compared to open surgery.
When is this procedure recommended?
Elbow stiffness and restricted movement
Loose bodies in the elbow joint
Osteoarthritis of the elbow
Synovitis (inflammation of joint lining)
Cartilage damage or osteochondral lesions
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) not responding to treatment
Elbow impingement syndrome
Post-traumatic elbow conditions
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Clinical examination, X-rays, MRI, and necessary blood tests are conducted to assess the condition.
The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia. The patient is positioned to allow optimal access to the elbow joint.
Small incisions (portals) are made around the elbow, and an arthroscope is inserted to visualize the joint.
The surgeon examines cartilage, ligaments, and joint surfaces to identify abnormalities.
Procedures such as removal of loose bodies, synovectomy, cartilage debridement, or release of stiff tissues are performed.
Incisions are closed, and a sterile dressing is applied. A splint may be used if required.
