Detailed explanation-1: -arthrolysis: loosening adhesions in an ankylosed joint to restore mobility. arthroplasty: reconstructive surgery of a joint or joints to restore motion because of ankylosis or trauma or to prevent excessive motion. This repair and reconstruction may use silicone, metallic, or other implants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. Elbow arthrolysis is a surgical procedure to treat conditions that are causing significant stiffness and reduced range of motion in the elbow joint. The procedure of elbow arthrolysis involves the release of all soft tissues that interfere with full range of motion in the elbow joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -Elbow arthrolysis consists in removing the retracted capsule, the impinging bone and the adhesions around the head of the radius. A short incision is made in the external part of the elbow. In some cases, an incision is also made on the inside.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arthroscopic arthrolysis is the treatment of choice for numerous conditions (stiffness subsequent to inflammatory processes, stiffness associated with marked osteoporosis, etc.) in which open arthrolysis is contraindicated.

Detailed explanation-5: -Surgical arthrolysis is a viable option that can be performed via open surgery or arthroscopy. Arthrolysis of the radio-carpal (RC) joint can be useful in flexion-extension stiffness, while distal radio ulnar joint (DRUJ) arthrolysis is indicated in cases with limited pronation-supination.
