چکیده
Tennis elbow is a common cause of pain and disability. It is more frequently seen in non-athletes, with a peak incidence in the early fifth decade on a nearly equal gender basis. Degeneration of the tendon of extensor carpi radialis brevis is believed to be the most common cause. Non-operative treatment is successful in effecting a resolution of symptoms in 90% of the patients. The remaining 10%, who do not respond to conservative treatment are labeled as resistant or refractory cases. Different modalities of treatment are used to treat these chronic cases.
