Abstract

Arthroscopy of the elbow was performed for the first time by Burman on a cadaver in 1932 (1), and used for the first time as a diagnostic examination by Watanabe in 1971 (2) on a patient suffering from arthrosynovitis. Subsequently, McGinty (3) in 1982, Hempfling (4) in 1983, and Eriksson (6) in 1984 dedicated themselves to setting some standards for arthroscopic technique as well as indications for its use on the elbow.
