Patients often report pain and clicking and/or locking sensations as they move their elbow. They may also have restricted mobility as they try to flex and extend their elbow. This is prevalent in those playing sports (baseball, golf and tennis) where the elbow undergoes repetitive motions to cause these overuse injuries. Those with moderate arthritis may also seem improvement in symptoms after an elbow arthroscopy. Patients with previous elbow dislocations and fractures may require an elbow arthroscopy to treat their pain. Elbow arthroscopy surgery candidates are those who did not respond positively to non-surgical treatment options like cortisone injections and physical therapy, and wearing elbow braces or splints.
