Lateral epicondylitis is the most common elbow problem in adults. Corticosteroid injection for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis is a frequently used method of conservative management. A 43-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with a 6-month history of pain along the lateral side of her right and left elbow. She had been treated with 20 mg Triamsinolon heksasetonit to the right and left elbow for lateral epicondylitis with the resistance of pain After 3 weeks of the injection, the pain was completely relieved. The patient was able to move easily her elbow within normal limit. Examination also revealed depigmentation of the skin and atrophy of subcutaneous fat over the lateral epicondyle of both elbows. In the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, corticosteroid injection can be used for alternative conservative treatment. Depigmentation or subcutaneous tissue atrophy may occur inappropriate technique or excessive cortisone dose.
外侧上髁炎是成年人肘部最常见的问题。皮质类固醇注射治疗外侧上髁炎是一种常用的保守治疗方法。一位 43 岁女性因右侧和左侧肘部外侧疼痛 6 个月而被转介至我们的诊所。她曾接受过 20 毫克曲安奈德己酮对右侧和左侧肘部外侧上髁炎的治疗，但在注射 3 周后，疼痛完全缓解。患者的肘部能够在正常范围内轻松移动。检查还显示双侧肘部外上髁皮肤色素脱失和皮下脂肪萎缩。在治疗外侧上髁炎时，皮质类固醇注射可用于替代保守治疗。色素脱失或皮下组织萎缩可能是由于技术不当或皮质醇剂量过大所致。
