The morphology of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle was investigated in 20 patients with longstanding lateral epicondylitis. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the proximal or distal portion of the ECRB and analysed by enzyme- and immunohistochemical methods. Morphological abnormalities were significantly more frequent in patients than controls and included moth-eaten fibres, fib...

BACKGROUND Chronic lateral epicondylitis has been treated with various surgical procedures with varying and often less-than-satisfactory outcomes. HYPOTHESIS The use of suture anchor repair of the extensor carpi radialis brevis to the lateral epicondyle in the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis will result in a more anatomical repair, with resultant improvements in strength, pain, and...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results from patients with lateral epicondylitis following surgical treatment using the arthroscopy technique. METHODS Twenty patients underwent surgery using the arthroscopic technique. Their ages ranged from 19 to 54 years (average of 41 years and eight months). Twelve (60%) of them were female and eight (40%) were male. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months a...

Painful lateral elbow epicondylitis or tennis elbow can be a cause of significant disability and patient anxiety. The diagnosis is usually clinical and infrequently requires advanced imaging. While lateral epicondylitis is a self-limiting disease with most reporting complete resolution of symptoms by one year, patients frequently present to the physician in hopes that the physician can expedite...

The aim of our study was to analyse the efficacy of operative management in recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis of elbow. Forty patients included in this study were referred by general practitioners with a diagnosis of tennis elbow to the orthopaedic department at a district general hospital over a five year period. All had two or more steroid injections at the tender spot, without permanent rel...

BACKGROUND When using botulinum toxin for the management of lateral epicondylitis, injection at a fixed distance from an anatomic landmark could result in inadequate paralysis of the intended muscle. We assessed the effectiveness of injection of botulinum toxin using precise anatomic measurement in individual patients. METHODS In this randomized placebo-controlled trial, 48 patients with chro...
