Loose fitting clothes that you can put on easily over a splint / dressing which you will have in place after surgery.

Ask your surgeon. Simple surgeries may not require brace.

Good morning,

In general, many arthroscopic procedures can be sling or splint for a short period of protection. Sometimes just an elbow sleeve when swelling resolves, and for more extensive surgery for fractures and reconstruction, an elbow brace.
Good luck.
