The elbow joint is the link between the shoulder and the hand, its pathology is diverse, normally secondary to trauma: radial head fracture, olecranon, distal humeral fractures, chondral lesions, etc; but also to mechanical overload in the work or sports context: epicondylitis or tennis elbow, epitrocleitis or golfer's elbow, ligament instabilities due to overload in pitchers, etc.
The diagnostic tests commonly used are radiographs, ultrasound, CT and MRI, depending on the condition being studied.
The treatment of this pathology requires different types of surgical access as well as the use of elbow arthroscopy as a minimally invasive treatment method. Sometimes depending on the pathology, the use of infiltrations (steroids, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma-PRP) is indicated, which allows us to heal some pathologies and sometimes improve pain in the recovery process.
