Lateral epicondylitis resistant to conservative treatment is a rare yet disabling condition. When diagnosed, it should be treated surgically. The appropriate surgical treatment relies on a precise diagnosis, usually based on physical examination. Exclusion of other pathologies in the lateral elbow area is essential.
We report on an outcome in a group of 19 consecutive patients treated by excision, release, reattachment and repair of the common extensor origin. These patients were followed clinically for at least 2 years.
Eighteen patients reported recovery from pain and a satisfactory subjective gaining of strength in their forearm on average 3 and 4 months after the surgery, respectively.
The presented treatment method is highly effective in the treatment of resistant lateral epicondylitis.
对保守治疗耐药的外侧上髁炎是一种罕见但致残的病症。确诊后,应进行手术治疗。合适的手术治疗依赖于精确的诊断,通常基于体格检查。排除肘部外侧区域的其他病变至关重要。
我们报告了一组连续19例接受伸肌总起点切除、松解、重新附着和修复治疗的患者的治疗结果。对这些患者进行了至少2年的临床随访。
18例患者报告疼痛消失,平均在术后3个月和4个月时前臂力量主观恢复情况令人满意。
所提出的治疗方法在治疗耐药性外侧上髁炎方面非常有效。
