BackgroundArthroscopic release for elbow stiffness is considered a minimally invasive and effective treatment. However, the extent to which each intraoperative step contributes to improvement in range of motion (ROM) has not been well investigated. PurposeTo sequentially evaluate the relationship between intraoperative surgical steps and changes in elbow ROM during arthroscopic release for severe elbow stiffness, and to identify the key procedural stage contributing most significantly to ROM im...
