Abstract
Arthroscopic surgery for the posterior compartment in elbow has been used in the treatment of many pathologies. The direct posterior portal has been commonly used for this compartment. However, this portal involves penetrating the triceps brachii tendon responsible for extensor mechanism. This can possibly lead to poor performance during recovery and portal wound sensation with scar formation. An accessory posterolateral portal can be used as a substitute with adequate viewing and working space in all areas of the posterior compartment. This report describes in detail on how to manage pathologies in the posterior compartment without using direct posterior portal and instead using accessory posterolateral, posterolateral, and direct lateral portals.
