BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic excision of an @entity10545 was first reported in the knee joint; since then, there have been several reports of arthroscopic excisions in the knee, shoulder, and elbow, with inconclusive outcomes because of a limited number of cases. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the medium-term functional effects of arthroscopic ablation in cases of an @entity10545 around the elbow. METHODS: We treated @entity10545 of the elbow through arthroscopic ablation in 10 @entity1 . The arthroscopic resection procedure was performed 23        9 months (range, 12-36 months) after initial symptoms. At the preoperative examination and last follow-up examination, the elbow flexion-extension and forearm supination-pronation ranges of motion were measured. The @entity1 were assessed by the Mayo Elbow Performance Score, the visual analog scale for the elbow and wrist, and the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score. Finally, the @entity1 ' general satisfaction was assessed. RESULTS: The postoperative elbow flexion-extension range of motion was significantly higher compared with range of motion before surgery (P   =   .001; r   =   0.86). According to the Mayo Elbow Performance Score, the average score increased significantly at the final follow-up examination. The mean preoperative and final Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were 47        14 and 1.6        2.8, respectively (P   <   .001). All @entity1 were satisfied with the operation result. CONCLUSION: According to the results of our study, arthroscopic ablation is a safe and efficient method of treatment for @entity10545 of the elbow, with a fast rehabilitation time.

Arthroscopic ablation of an XXXX of the elbow: a case series with a minimum of 18 months' follow-up.
