Lateral epicondylitis refractory to conservative care can be effectively treated by arthroscopic release of the extensor carpi radialis brevis origin. Advantages to the technique include the ability to address other intra-articular sources of pain (capsular tears, radiocapitellar plica, etc.), a potentially faster return to work and sports, and a smaller incision. This article provides step-by-step descriptions and illustrations of the surgical technique.

BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of recruitment, appointment adherence, intervention compliance, acceptance and comprehensibility, in addition to retention rate and data completeness. An ancillary aim was to describe within-group changes in the secondary outcome measures (patient-reported and performance-based).
Design: A single-centre, three-armed, randomised controlled feasibility trial with a parallel design, with follow-up after 3 and 6 months.

Background: Currently, there is conflicting clinimetric data on the patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE) and a paucity of evidence regarding the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), and tennis elbow function scale (TEFS) in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy.
Objective: Perform a comprehensive clinimetric analysis of the NPRS, PRTEE, and TEFS in a sample of patients ( = 143) with lateral elbow tendinopathy.
Methods: Establish the reliability, construct validity, responsiveness, meaningful clinically important difference (MCID), and minimal detectable change (MDC) values for the NPRS, PRTEE, and TEFS at the 3-month follow-up.
Recognition and Differentiation of Baker Lesions in Lateral Epicondylitis During Arthroscopic Debridement.

Recognition of lateral capsular disruptions (Baker lesions) that are commonly identified during arthroscopic lateral epicondylitis release is important because understanding that these lesions exist-and the variation of their arthroscopic appearance-is important. In addition, identifying Baker lesions serves as evidence supporting lateral epicondylitis as the cause of symptoms. The purposes of this article are to describe the classification system and to arthroscopically show examples of each lesion type, as well as to describe our technique for arthroscopic lateral epicondylitis release.

Refractory lateral epicondylitis poses significant challenges for patients and doctors. Whereas traditional surgical treatments involve open resection and extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle debridement, arthroscopic surgery advancements offer a more refined approach. Numerous surgical methods are used to treat lateral epicondylitis.

The research aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these US-detected partial tears, influence the clinical presentation and imaging findings associated with LE.
Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
