The elbow arthroscopy usually lasts about 30 minute to an hour. The operation's duration depends on what procedures need to be done such as cleaning of loose bodies, debridement of inflamed tissue or release of tendon or impingement.
Depends on what is done. Loose body removal can be really quick, 15-20 min. Capsular release can take a bit more time 45-70 min depending on adhesions.

Generally about 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the complexity of the problem. Full recovery is 3-4 months.
Arthroscopy of the elbow surgery duration is variable depending on what the purpose of the surgery is. The procedure can last anywhere from 1-3 hours.
