Résumé

Posterior impingement of the elbow is not a common finding. Further investigation is ideal if impingement persists in spite of non-operative treatment. A male patient aged 33 years presented to us in the outpatient department with18 months history of impingement. Magnetic resonance confirmed soft-tissue as cause for impingement. Elbow arthroscopy revealed a rent in the olecranon fossa showing the fat pad locked into it. Debridement with arthroscopic shaver made the patient symptom free. Further investigation and minimal invasive elbow arthroscopy is recommended for persistent posterior elbow impingement.
