Introduction: Lateral tendinosis of the elbow, sometimes called tennis refers to degenerative process in common source extended group forearm muscles. In orthopedic clinics, it is most prevalent cause elbow discomfort and pain. The condition caused by repeated muscular motions a typical discomfort.
 Objectives: To assess clinical functional outcomes autologous blood injection for treatment...

In embalmed preparations, the antebrachial fascia in the lateral elbow region is shown to be deformed by load application to the triceps muscle. From this fascia, muscles arise which are primarily concerned with the extension of wrist and fingers. In the case of lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), the superficial site of attachment of these extensors at the lateral epicondyle is extremely pai...

BACKGROUND Lateral elbow pain is common with a population prevalence of 1%-3%. The study was a comparative trial to validate the efficacy of single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for tennis elbow as compared with single injections of triamcinolone and placebo (normal saline) over a short term period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Comparative trial with 3- and 6-month followup evaluated with ...

We undertook a prospective, randomised study to compare the analgesic effect of injection of steroid and of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) for the treatment of tennis elbow. Group 1 received a single injection of 20 mg of triamcinolone with lignocaine while group 2 received 2000 shock waves in three sessions at weekly intervals. After six weeks there was a significant difference betwe...

The elbow patients herein discussed feature common soft tissue conditions such as tennis elbow, golfers' elbow and olecranon bursitis. Relevant anatomical structures for these conditions can easily be identified and demonstrated by cross examination by instructors and participants. Patients usually present rotator cuff tendinopathy, frozen shoulder, axillary neuropathy and suprascapular neuropa...

Background: Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition characterized by irritation of the tendons that link forearm muscles on outside which can result from using elbow too much. Active Release Technique (ART) defined hands-on approach manages cases to enable identification and treatment soft tissue injuries. Through removal fibrosis ad...

Lateral epicondylitis is a common overuse syndrome of the extensor tendons of the forearm. It is sometimes called tennis elbow, although it can occur with many activities. The condition affects men and women equally and is more common in persons 40 years or older. Despite the prevalence of lateral epicondylitis and the numerous treatment strategies available, relatively few high-quality clinica...
