Abstract

Chronic olecranon bursitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the bursa located at the tip of the elbow, often leading to significant discomfort and functional impairment. Traditional treatment methods, including conservative management and open surgical techniques, may not always yield satisfactory results, particularly in recalcitrant cases. This abstract reviews the application of endoscopic techniques for the treatment of chronic olecranon bursitis, highlighting their advantages in minimizing surgical trauma and promoting faster recovery. Endoscopic olecranon bursectomy allows for direct visualization and access to the bursa while preserving surrounding tissues. This minimally invasive approach can effectively remove inflamed bursal tissue, reduce pain, and restore elbow function. Clinical outcomes from recent studies indicate that patients undergoing endoscopic bursectomy experience significant pain relief and improved range of motion, with lower complication rates compared to traditional open surgery. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the importance of proper patient selection, technique, and postoperative rehabilitation in achieving optimal results. As the understanding of endoscopic techniques continues to evolve, this approach represents a promising option for managing chronic olecranon bursitis, offering a balance of efficacy and patient-centered care. Future research is encouraged to further explore long-term outcomes and refine procedural techniques in the context of chronic elbow conditions.
