Purpose Post-traumatic contracture is a common complication after elbow trauma. If conservative therapy fails to restore adequate elbow motion, surgical release is recommended. Increase in arthroscopy knowledge and skills, as well as technological advances in the passed decade of years, has made arthroscopic arthrolysis a safe and reliable treatment for patients with a post-traumatic elbow contracture. The aim of this study was to report on the clinical outcome and improvement of ROM in post-traumatic stiff elbow treated by arthroscopic arthrolysis.
