The Transosseous Refixation of the Common Extensors Tendons for Refractory Lateral Epicondylitis: A Retrospective Analysis of 15 Patients
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Tennis elbow is a common disorder in orthopaedics. Most common presentation is idiopathic. There are multiple etiopathologies such as trauma, inflammation, fibrosis has been proposed but no definitive cause is known. Most of the treatment regimes focus on rest, physiotherapy and corticosteroid injection. The aim of our study is to provide a surgical alternative to patients with refractory tennis elbow. We did a retrospective study of 15 patients operated by debridement of fibrous tissue at common extensor origin and re-fixation using suture anchor. All patients were diagnosed on basis of clinical examination, MRI and elbow arthroscopy. After surgery patients were immobilized for four weeks and after that range of motion exercises were started. All patients had good pain relief and function on basis of subjective and objective parameter. We recommend this procedure for all patients with refractory tennis elbow.
