There have been a number of recent developments in elbow surgery for arthritis and stiffness. Advances have occurred in our understanding of the basic biomechanics of elbow arthroplasty as well as in the long-term clinical follow-up of patients treated with these implants. In addition, treatment of elbow arthritis by nonprosthetic means, including arthroscopy and a variety of open procedures, has been further advanced by reports in the literature. An escalating interest in the role of and techniques for elbow arthroscopy has broadened the indications for this technique to expand into the area of treatment of the stiff elbow as well. This paper will discuss these three areas of elbow surgery as they relate to the treatment of elbow arthritis.
近期，针对关节炎和肘关节僵硬的肘部手术有了一些新进展。我们对肘关节置换术的基本生物力学的理解以及对接受这些植入物治疗的患者的长期临床随访都取得了进步。此外，文献报道进一步推动了非假体治疗方法（包括关节镜检查和各种开放手术）在肘部关节炎治疗中的应用。人们对肘关节镜检查的作用和技术的兴趣不断增加，这也拓宽了该技术的适应症，使其扩展到僵硬肘关节的治疗领域。本文将讨论与肘部关节炎治疗相关的这三个肘部手术领域。
