Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Lateral and medial epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, represent frequent sources of elbow pain in adults.
  • Persistent pain and weakness associated with elbow conditions often necessitate surgical intervention.
  • Surgical complications can stem from misdiagnosis, incomplete pathology correction, and subsequent forearm weakness or elbow instability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the common causes of elbow pain and the indications for surgical treatment.
  • To identify potential complications associated with surgical correction of elbow disorders.
  • To emphasize the critical role of postoperative rehabilitation in patient recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common elbow pathologies leading to surgical consideration.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to surgical complications in elbow epicondylitis.
  • Discussion of rehabilitation protocols for post-epicondylitis surgery.

Main Results:

  • Tennis elbow is a prevalent condition leading to significant disability.
  • Surgical outcomes are frequently compromised by diagnostic errors and procedural failures.
  • Effective rehabilitation is paramount for restoring function and enabling return to activities.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis and precise surgical technique are essential for successful tennis elbow treatment.
  • Postoperative rehabilitation is a critical component for optimizing outcomes after elbow surgery.
  • Addressing complications requires a comprehensive approach involving surgical correction and diligent rehabilitation.
