The files of 64 patients (70 tennis elbows) treated in our department because of tennis elbow complaints, were reviewed. The results showed injection with a corticosteroid preparation to be effective in alleviating the pain in the short term (91% improvement within 1 week), but the incidence of recurrence of symptoms to be high (51%) after an average period of 3 months). Physical therapy appeared to be less effective (47% improvement after an average of 6 weeks or 20 sessions), but recurrence of symptoms was far less frequent (5%).
我们回顾了因网球肘症状在我科接受治疗的64例患者（70个网球肘）的病历。结果显示，注射皮质类固醇制剂在短期内可有效缓解疼痛（1周内改善率达91%），但平均3个月后症状复发率较高（51%）。物理治疗效果似乎较差（平均6周或20次治疗后改善率为47%），但症状复发频率要低得多（5%）。
