Description	Between 2003 and 2009, 39 men and 7 women with mean age of 41,5 years underwent operative arthrolysis of the elbow joint. Just in a half of cases was trauma a cause of rigidity. Mean range of motion (ROM) before surgery was 58,0 deg. (range, 0 - 105 deg.). Mean ROM immediately after the surgery was 118,6 deg. It means the average increase of ROM 60,6 deg. At last follow-up control was the mean ROM 111,0 deg. The loss of ROM presented 7,6 deg. at average. The final ROM increase was meanly 53,0 deg. (range, 20 - 125 deg.). No serious complications were observed. Elbow arthrolysis represents a successfull procedure which returns a patient to common everyday activities. Medial surgical approach is prefered in most cases.
