No controlled trials currently exist for surgical interventions for lateral elbow pain. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of surgery for tennis elbow treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Lateral elbow pain, commonly known as tennis elbow, affects elbow and forearm function.
  • Surgical interventions are sometimes considered for chronic cases unresponsive to conservative treatments.
  • Existing surgical approaches often involve releasing the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the effectiveness of surgical interventions for treating lateral elbow pain in adults.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature searches were conducted across multiple databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, SCISEARCH, Cochrane).
  • Two independent reviewers assessed randomized and pseudo-randomized controlled trials meeting inclusion criteria.
  • Studies were evaluated for outcomes including pain, function, disability, quality of life, strength, and adverse effects.

Main Results:

  • The systematic search identified no controlled trials investigating the effects of surgery for lateral elbow pain.
  • No studies met the inclusion criteria for randomized or pseudo-randomized controlled trials.

Conclusions:

  • There is a lack of published controlled trials evaluating surgical treatments for lateral elbow pain.
  • Without controlled studies, the efficacy and value of surgical interventions for tennis elbow cannot be determined.
