Recalcitrant Lateral Epicondylitis: A Systematic Review on Current Nonoperative and Operative Treatment Modalities.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is a common cause of elbow pain that is generally self-limiting. For patients who have persistent symptoms refractory to conservative treatment, there is still no clear consensus on the most favorable treatment modality. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the available literature regarding both nonoperative and operative treatment modalities for recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis (RLE) to provide insight into the efficacy of treatment options.

Ulnar Bowing and Distal Radioulnar Joint Anatomy: A Three-Dimensional, Clinical Assessment.

Purpose: Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) injuries can be devastating and challenging to manage. The multiplanar curvature exhibited by the ulna impacts the morphology of the DRUJ, making it difficult to assess through two-dimensional radiographs alone. We used full-length, three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography angiography scans to assess the relationship between ulnar bowing, DRUJ ulnar variance (UV), and sigmoid notch angle.
