The Future of Elbow Arthroscopic Surgery

Elbow arthroscopy has evolved into a cornerstone of minimally invasive orthopedic surgery; however, it continues to face challenges due to the limited intra-articular space, proximity to neurovascular structures, and variability in clinical outcomes. Emerging technologies—including high-definition imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, augmented reality (AR), and biologic therapies—offer promising avenues to improve procedural precision, safety, and patient-specific outcomes. This chapter examines the transformative potential of these innovations in advancing the field of elbow arthroscopy.
