Zusammenfassung

Die Steife des Ellenbogens hat vielfältige Ursachen. Neben den häufigen verletzungsbedingten bestehen vielfältige degenerative Auslöser für Kontrakturen. Die Beweglichkeit des Ellenbogens kann abhängig von der individuellen Situation durch nicht operative und operative Ansätze wiedererlangt werden. In den letzten Jahren hat sich neben den konservativen und offenen Maßnahmen zunehmend die arthroskopische Arthrolyse als Behandlungsoption etabliert. Mit diesen Optionen lässt sich vielfach die schmerzlose Funktion des Ellenbogengelenks wiederherstellen.

Abstract

There are several reasons for stiffness of the elbow joint. Besides traumatic disorders there are several non-traumatic factors that can lead to contractures of the elbow. Joint motion can be restored with non-surgical and surgical interventions. Besides the non-surgical and open treatment options, arthroscopic arthrolysis has become an established method. With these options a painless, more or less complete restoration of elbow function can usually be expected.
