In recent years, arthroscopy has gained popularity as a preferred treatment of a multitude of pathologies affecting the elbow. Since its initial description in 1985, many modifications have been made as our knowledge and technology have advanced. Currently, the majority of arthroscopic procedures are performed in either the lateral decubitus or supine suspended position. In this work, we discuss the history, patient positioning, and key steps for performing elbow arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position. In addition to key steps, a number of strengths and limitations of this set up are discussed in detail. When properly executed, elbow arthroscopy can be performed in a safe and efficient manner with minimal risk to patients.
近年来，关节镜检查作为治疗多种影响肘部的病症的首选方法而受到欢迎。自1985年首次描述以来，随着我们知识和技术的进步，已经进行了许多改进。目前，大多数关节镜手术是在侧卧位或仰卧悬吊位进行的。在这项工作中，我们讨论了在侧卧位进行肘关节镜检查的历史、患者体位和关键步骤。除了关键步骤外，还详细讨论了这种设置的一些优点和局限性。如果操作得当，肘关节镜检查可以安全、高效地进行，对患者的风险最小。
