Ultrasound Percutaneous Tenotomy: An Intervention for Managing Lateral Epicondylitis: A Narrative Review
Journal Title: Vajira Medical Journal: Journal of Urban Medicine - Year 2024, Vol 68, Issue 1
Abstract
A growing emphasis is being focused on percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy for expedited recovery from lateral epicondylitis (LE) and enhanced functionality. The TX1 tissue removal system, also known as the Tenex device from Tenex device (Tenex Health Inc., Lake Forest, CA, USA), notably excels in the management of chronic LE. Utilizing ultrasonic energy, this device offers three tips, namely, TX1, TX2, and TXBone-introducing novel avenues, for determining the previously inaccessible tendon pathology. The procedure disrupts degenerated segments, which creates fenestrations that induce local hemorrhage and the release of vasoactive substances. The overarching goal of Tenex is to boost vascularity through the initiation of tendon repair via the deposition of new collagen and elimination of necrotic tissues. This review assesses Tenex’s effectiveness though gathering information, aiming to understand how it helps doctors and other healthcare professionals in their work.
