Background: An effective treatment for the elbow recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis is arthroscopic surgery. This studyevaluated the midterm results of treating recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis with arthroscopic surgery.Methods: A total of 40 subjects with recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis prepared for arthroscopic surgery on their elbowsparticipated in this study. The elbo...

Lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow is a painful and functionally limiting entity affecting the upperextremity and is frequently treated by hand surgeons. Corticosteroid injection is one of the most common interventions for lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow. Here, a review of the medical literature on this treatment is presented.

Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is a painful musculoskeletal condition that often limits strength and function. Manual therapy, specifically mobilization with movement (MWM), is a treatment intervention to help decrease pain and improve strength of those with lateral epicondylitis. This clinical scenario places the therapist in an outpatient, orthopedic clinic where a 35-year-old male t...

SUBMISSION – NEHS 2014 Radiographic calcifications in lateral epicondylitis Shillito M, Martin N, Soong M BACKGROUND Prior literature suggests that radiographs are unnecessary for the initial evaluation of lateral epicondylitis, as treatment decisions are rarely altered as a result. The most commonly noted radiographic finding is calcification at the lateral epicondyle, found in up to 22% of ca...

INTRODUCTION Although previous studies have related occupational exposure and epicondylitis, the evidence is moderate and mostly based on cross-sectional studies. Suspected physical exposures were tested over a 3-year period in a large longitudinal cohort study of workers in the USA. METHOD In a population-based study including a variety of industries, 1107 newly employed workers were examine...

results both counterforce straps were effective. however, significantly more improvement was observed in pain and grip strength after using the newly modified orthosis (p < 0.05). conclusions the newly designed strap reduces pain more effectively and improves grip strength by causing greater localized pressure on two regions with different force applications (two component vectors versus one). ...

Lateral epicondylitis, commonly referred to as tennis elbow, is a syndrome characterized by pain over the origin of the common extensor muscles of the fingers, hand and wrist at the lateral epicondyle. Reports of 70-90% response to conservative treatment at one year have been documented in the literature though refractory cases often require surgical management. Arthroscopic treatment of latera...

ateral stability of the elbow depends on the integrity of the lateral collateral ligament and secondary softtissue restraints. Posterolateral rotatory subluxation of the elbow has been recognized in association with elbow trauma, surgery for epicondylitis, and congenital cubitus varus deformity. While abnormal signal changes on magnetic resonance imaging have been shown to include the lateral c...

objectives: aim of this study is to investigate the initial effect of taping technique on wrist extension and grip strength and pain of individuals with tennis elbow. methods: fifteen patients (10 men and 5 women with 42.53 years) on their dominant arm participated in this study. outcome measures were wrist extension and grip strength and pain taken before and immediately after application of t...
