Summary

Epicondylitis and de Quervain's tenosynovitis are often misdiagnosed as inflammatory. New research indicates these conditions are degenerative tendinopathies, requiring updated treatment approaches for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Hand Therapy

Background:

  • Epicondylitis and de Quervain's tenosynovitis are common hand conditions.
  • Current treatments often target inflammation, which may be inaccurate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on tendinopathies, focusing on elbow and forearm conditions.
  • To advocate for the adoption of the term 'tendinosis' over traditional inflammatory diagnoses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of tendinopathies, with a focus on lower extremity studies.
  • Comparison of findings with the limited research available for elbow and forearm tendinopathies.

Main Results:

  • Tendinopathies, including those in the elbow and forearm, show degeneration, not inflammation.

  • There is a lack of research on elbow and forearm tendinopathies compared to lower extremity conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hand therapists should recognize tendinopathies as degenerative processes (tendinosis).
    • Further research is needed to improve treatment and outcome measures for elbow and forearm tendinopathies.
