description Open arthrotomy has been the standard of treatment for posttraumatic flexion contractures of the elbow. Utilizing standard arthroscopic techniques combined with electrocautery, anterior capsulotomy was performed without complication. Immediate improvement in extension was demonstrated. Multiple cadaveric dissections evidenced the safety of the approach as the humeral capsular attachment is isolated from the neurovascular structures by the brachialis muscle. This technique serves to underscore the utility of elbow arthroscopy in patients with dysfunction previously only amenable to open joint procedures.
