case_images: At that time, a computerized tomography (CT) scan and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the right elbow were performed showing a small osteochondral capitellar lesion, intramedullary oedema, and an intra-articular loose body (Figure 1).

case_images: During the arthroscopic procedure, an intact and soft capitellar cartilage (type I of International Cartilage Reconstruction Society) was found, along with an associated synovitis (Figure 2).

case_images: Therefore, it was decided to perform an articular synovectomy and retrograde multidirectional drilling of the capitellum (Figure 3).
case_images: MRI of patients right elbow at one-year follow-up, demonstrating full recovery of the previously described lesions.
