Day-case lateral release surgery for resistant tennis elbow (TE) offers excellent outcomes. Early surgical intervention for TE is recommended over prolonged conservative treatment due to high patient satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Elbow Surgery

Background:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a common condition causing elbow pain.
  • Resistant cases often require surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail.
  • Lateral release is a surgical option for managing tennis elbow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of day-case lateral release surgery for resistant tennis elbow.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and long-term results following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 20 patients with resistant tennis elbow underwent day-case lateral release.
  • Patient outcomes were assessed using the Verhaar et al. criteria.
  • Follow-up averaged 16 months post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • Excellent results were achieved in 55% of patients.
  • Good results were observed in 35%, and fair results in 10%.
  • All patients reported overall benefit from the surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Day-case lateral release is an effective surgical treatment for resistant tennis elbow.
  • Early surgical referral should be considered, as conservative management may be less beneficial.
  • A significant majority of patients expressed a preference for earlier surgical consideration.
