To review the research progress of complications associated with open elbow arthrolysis so as to provide clinical reference for complication prevention and treatment.
The recent publications on open elbow arthrolysis and complications associated with it were extensively reviewed and analyzed.
Complications associated with open elbow arthrolysis include ulnar nerve symptom and neuropathy, elbow instability, heterotopic ossification, and hematoma. Although some progress has been made in the complication prevention and treatment recently, there are still some challenges in the control of surgical trauma, intervention of heterotopic ossification and elbow instability after surgery, as well as postoperative analgesia due to the limitation of surgical techniques and the uncertain mechanism of these complications.
Open elbow arthrolysis is safe and effective for elbow stiffness. However, more research on the mechanism of complications should be carried out, to further improve the overall effect of the surgery.
回顾开放性肘关节松解术相关并发症的研究进展，为并发症的防治提供临床参考。
广泛查阅并分析近期有关开放性肘关节松解术及其相关并发症的文献。
开放性肘关节松解术相关并发症包括尺神经症状及神经病变、肘关节不稳定、异位骨化和血肿。尽管近期在并发症的防治方面取得了一些进展，但由于手术技术的限制以及这些并发症机制的不确定性，在控制手术创伤、干预术后异位骨化和肘关节不稳定以及术后镇痛方面仍存在一些挑战。
开放性肘关节松解术治疗肘关节僵硬安全有效。然而，应进一步开展关于并发症机制的研究，以进一步提高手术的整体效果。
