| Abstract |
Position shifting from elbow arthroscopy to open surgery could complicate the surgical procedures; patient safety and risks of contamination are of concern. The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess the safety and efficacy of elbow arthroscopy in 32 elbows of 32 patients using a modified arm holder to facilitate subsequent open surgery in supine position. We performed a retrospective study in arthroscopy of the elbow performed with patients in the supine position under general or regional anesthesia. Arthroscopic indications were intraarticular lesions with or without second disorders. The operated arm was securely supported using an adjustable arm holder, which allowed a second surgical procedure without repositioning the patient. We recorded arthroscopic findings, clinical outcome, and complications for all patients. The average duration of follow-up was 17.1 months. Functional assessment was based on the Mayo Elbow Performance Score. All patients had either good or excellent results with a mean Mayo Elbow Performance Score of 89.2 ± 7.2. Final motion arc averaged 113.3 ± 11.8; residual motion limitation was noted in 2 patients with preoperative ankylosis. No complications were observed immediately after surgery or during follow-up except transient paresthesia along medial cutaneous nerve in 2 patients. A total of 17 patients (53.1%) underwent other surgeries (19 procedures) after arthroscopy; 16 of these surgeries were open elbow procedures including ligament repair (7), ligament reconstruction (5), and ulnar nerve transposition (4). The average time for arthroscopy was 45.2 min; the time interval between the end of arthroscopy and the start of the second surgery procedure averaged 6.5 min. Arthroscopy of the elbow using an adjustable arm holder with the patients in the supine position was safe and efficacious. This procedure eliminates the need for repositioning the patient and thus may facilitate subsequent concomitant surgical procedures. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 February 2017.
All research outputs
#18,529,032
of 22,950,943 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#958
of 1,390 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#310,599
of 420,224 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#16
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,950,943 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,390 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 420,224 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
