In those cases in which a contracted capsule at the elbow limits flexion or extension, surgical treatment is warranted. A wide exposure is necessary to identify vital structures and perform an adequate anterior capsulectomy. A direct approach through the triceps is recommended for posterior capsulectomy. In 6 cases, the results were good when the contracture of the capsule was not associated with skin contracture or bony deformity.
在那些肘部关节囊挛缩限制屈伸的病例中，有必要进行手术治疗。需要广泛暴露以识别重要结构并进行充分的前关节囊切除术。对于后关节囊切除术，建议通过三头肌进行直接入路。在6例病例中，当关节囊挛缩与皮肤挛缩或骨畸形无关时，结果良好。
