A Case report of Arthroscopic Intervention for Posterior Elbow Impingement Due to Locking of Fat Pad in the Olecranon Fossa

INTRODUCTION: Posterior impingement of the elbow is not a common finding. Further investigation is ideal if impingement persists in spite of non-operative treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A male patient aged 33 years presented to us in the outpatient department with18 months history of impingement. Mag...

description INTRODUCTION: Posterior impingement of the elbow is not a common finding. Further investigation is ideal if impingement persists in spite of non-operative treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A male patient aged 33 years presented to us in the outpatient department with18 months history of impingement. Magnetic resonance confirmed soft-tissue as cause for impingement. Elbow arthroscopy revealed a rent in the olecranon fossa showing the fat pad locked into it. Debridement with arthroscopic shaver made the patient symptom free. CONCLUSION: Further investigation and minimal invasive elbow arthroscopy is recommended for persistent posterior elbow impingement.
