Lateral Epicondylitis Treatments (Tennis Elbow)
How do you treat lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)?
Lateral epicondylitis can usually be treated non operatively. This involves many modalities, such as:
- Non- Steroidal anti-inflammatories
- Physiotherapy
- Off-loading braces
- Corticosteroid injections
For re-calcitrant cases lasting longer than 6-12 months, surgery may be indicated. Surgery can either be performed arthroscopically (keyhole) or open but usually involves debriding the pathological tendon insertion. This is a small, day only, procedure which provides good pain relief and return to normal function.
