After a detailed anatomic study to determine puncture sites, 10 cadaver elbows from 5 dogs were examined arthroscopically to study the normal intraarticular anatomy, as viewed from the medial side. Subsequent dissection revealed absence of neurovascular injury and only minor iatrogenic damage to the cartilage. The technique was clinically applied and evaluated in 13 dogs (26 joints). The dogs recovered without complications. The technique proved to be safe and reliable for direct examination of nearly the entire joint. More specifically, it allowed systematic inspection of the medial and lateral humeral condyles, the medial and lateral coronoid processes, the caudal and middle parts of the head of the radius, the olecranon (including the anconeal process), and the medial collateral ligament.
在进行详细的解剖学研究以确定穿刺部位后，对来自5只犬的10个尸体肘部进行关节镜检查，以研究从内侧观察到的正常关节内解剖结构。随后的解剖显示无神经血管损伤，仅对软骨有轻微的医源性损伤。该技术在13只犬（26个关节）上进行了临床应用和评估。犬只恢复良好，无并发症。该技术被证明对于几乎整个关节的直接检查是安全可靠的。更具体地说，它允许系统地检查肱骨内、外侧髁，冠状突内、外侧，桡骨头的尾侧和中间部分，鹰嘴（包括肘肌突）以及内侧副韧带。
