Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, causes elbow pain and weakness. Arthroscopic surgery offers a solution for persistent cases unresponsive to conservative treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Elbow Anatomy

Background:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a prevalent condition causing lateral elbow pain and reduced grip strength.
  • Non-surgical treatments resolve symptoms in most patients.
  • Surgery is typically reserved for refractory cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technique of arthroscopic tennis elbow release surgery.
  • To outline indications, contraindications, and potential complications.
  • To discuss postoperative rehabilitation and expected outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of arthroscopic surgical techniques for lateral epicondylitis.
  • Analysis of patient selection criteria (indications and contraindications).

  • Examination of post-operative care and recovery protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • Arthroscopic release is an effective option for recalcitrant tennis elbow.
    • The procedure involves specific surgical steps to address the condition.
    • Successful outcomes are linked to appropriate patient selection and rehabilitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic tennis elbow release is a viable surgical option for severe cases.
    • Careful patient selection and adherence to rehabilitation protocols are crucial for optimal results.
    • This review provides a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing tennis elbow.
