Editorial Commentary: Beware the Radial Nerve: More Elbow Arthroscopy Portals, More Options
Elbow arthroscopy is a challenging procedure due, in part, to the technical demands of portal placement as a consequence of the close proximity of the neurovascular structures. The radial nerve and its branches are especially at risk during lateral elbow arthroscopic portal placement. Two newly described (proximal) anterolateral elbow arthroscopy portals may be safer than the distal anterolateral portal location with regard to proximity to the radial nerve. These portals provide a new angle of approach, compared with the traditional and more posterior (but still safely proximal) anterolateral portals.
