Humeral and Ulnar Intramedullary Endoscopy with Total Elbow Arthroplasty

With revision elbow arthroplasty, extraction of intramedullary cement can be demanding, and there is an increased risk of canal perforation and periprosthetic fracture. We have performed humeral canal endoscopy, by introducing an arthroscope into the humeral or ulnar canal as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in revision elbow arthroplasty. It allows visualization of the endosteal bone, cement, and granulation tissue.
