Most patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis respond well to conservative management. For patients who do not respond to nonoperative modalities, surgical treatment represents a viable option for long-term symptomatic relief. The arthroscopic surgical technique described in this article has been consistently used by the senior author for the treatment of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis for more than 5 years (198 patients) without the occurrence of any major complications and appears to be a safe, reliable, and efficacious surgical intervention for the management of lateral epicondylitis.
大多数被诊断为外侧上髁炎的患者对保守治疗反应良好。对于那些对非手术治疗方式无反应的患者，手术治疗是实现长期症状缓解的可行选择。本文所述的关节镜手术技术，资深作者已持续应用于治疗顽固性外侧上髁炎超过5年（198例患者），未发生任何重大并发症，似乎是一种用于治疗外侧上髁炎的安全、可靠且有效的手术干预方法。
