Abstract：Objective To evaluate the clinical dfects of arthroscopic arthrolysis for elbow stiffness caused by military training injuries.Methods Twenty-eight elbow stiffness patients caused by military training injury were performed arthroscopic arthrolysis in authors' department from October 2013 to August 2016,and retrospectively analyzed.All patients were treated manipulation arthrolysis,analgesia and healing treatment after surgery.The activities of pre-and postoperation were evaluated by Mayo classification and compared.Results After 6-9 (8.4 ± 1.3) months of post-operative follow-up,preoperative average maximum flexion angles of elbow joint,straight angle,pronation angle,rotational angle were (86.5 ± 5.2),(34.7 ± 4.7),(76.4 ± 5.5),(67.1 ± 5.4)°,respectively,and postoperative above angles,in turn,were (125.4 ± 5.6),(5.1 ± 1.2),(80.6 ± 4.3),(80.4 ± 4.4)°.There was significantly different between pre-and post-operation (P＜0.05).The preoperative average elbow joint assessment were (60.9 ± 4.4) scores and postoperative were (87.1 ± 5.1) scores by Mayo classification (P＜0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic arthrolysis for elbow stiffness has advantages of clear operative area,minimally invasive and rapid postoperative recovery.It has an effective improvement of elbow joint range of motion and remarkable effects on elbow stiffness caused by military training.
