Journal ArticleDOI
Arthroscopic elbow surgery, is it safe?
TL;DR: The complications encountered in this series are well within the limits of earlier reports and show that with only a 0.5% rate of major complications, elbow arthroscopy is a relatively safe procedure for a wide variety of indications when performed in a standardized fashion.
