We studied the outcome of tennis elbow release in 27 patients at an average of 29.6 months after surgery. We found that 44% of patients had obtained complete pain relief, 37% of patients experienced occasional pain and 19% of patients still experienced moderate pain. Pain relief was significantly better in those patients with the shorter duration of preoperative symptoms. We therefore conclude that surgery for tennis elbow should be employed at an earlier stage than is currently practised.
我们研究了27例患者网球肘松解术后平均29.6个月的疗效。我们发现，44%的患者疼痛完全缓解，37%的患者偶尔仍有疼痛，19%的患者仍有中度疼痛。术前症状持续时间较短的患者疼痛缓解情况明显更好。因此，我们得出结论，网球肘手术应在比目前更早的阶段进行。
