Early postoperative rehabilitation is presented as essential after open elbow arthrolysis. The surgical exposure used in open elbow arthrolysis can increase tissue spaces, fluid exudation, bleeding, intra-articular pressure, and pain.

Open elbow arthrolysis treats post-traumatic elbow stiffness by releasing adhesions and mechanical restrictions to restore elbow range of motion.
