A member asked:
I'm having arthroscopic elbow surgery done in my right elbow to get rid of loose bone particles. is it bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not bad surgery: Elbow arthroscopy is not a hard surgery to undergo, and rehab should be rapid. However, the underlying issue with the loose bodies can be simple, or have concerns down the line. If the work can be done with the arthroscope, it will be much easier on you than the same procedure done with an open approach.
