Modified portals in elbow arthroscopy might help obtaining a better implant positioning with biomechanically superior fixation. New research shows a distal anteromedial and anterolateral portal placement would permit to obtain a more flattened trajectory of the screw placement, which should correlate with a superior biomechanical performance of fixation.
