Lateral and Medial Elbow Tendinopathy and Previous Injuries to Adjacent Joints: A Multicenter Observational Study.
Healthcare (Basel)
September 2024
Department of Nursing and Physiotherapy, Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy, University of Cadiz, 11009 Cadiz, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Lateral and medial elbow tendinopathies are prevalent conditions affecting 1-3% of the population, leading to pain and decreased function in the elbow, often linked to overuse but with unclear causes related to past injuries in nearby joints.
- A study involving 90 patients with these tendinopathies found that 44.4% had prior injuries in adjacent joints, with nearly half of these injuries being musculotendinous.
- The research suggests a potential connection between previous joint injuries and elbow tendinopathy, but highlights the need for further studies due to limitations like reliance on self-reported data and a small sample size.

Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, Center for Joint Preservation and Replacement, Baltimore, MD. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - Lateral epicondylosis is a common condition that causes pain on the outer elbow, often due to repetitive motions like gripping and wrist extension, leading to tendon damage.
- - Most patients find relief with non-surgical treatments, but there's ongoing debate about which non-operative methods work best for faster recovery.
- - The article reviews current treatment options, including both non-surgical and surgical approaches, particularly for more severe cases that do not respond to standard treatments.
Effectiveness of dry needling to treat lateral epicondylosis: A case report.
Hand Ther
September 2024
Occupational Therapy Program, Huntington University, Fort Wayne, IN, USA.
Purpose: This study presents the use of dry needling (DN) as an intervention to support functional rehabilitation for an adult diagnosed with lateral epicondylosis.
Methods: A retrospective, single subject, AB design was implemented. A 50-year-old male with a six-month history of dominant left lateral epicondylosis received traditional interventions for 4 weeks (baseline phase; A) followed by the same interventions with the addition of DN (intervention phase; B).
Novel Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of the Epicondylar Branch of the Posterior Cutaneous Nerve of the Forearm for Recalcitrant Lateral Epicondylosis.

May 2024
Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, USA.
This report describes a novel technique for the treatment of recalcitrant lateral epicondylosis (LE) by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the epicondylar branch of the posterior cutaneous nerve of the forearm (PCNF-BrEpi). Here, we describe two patients suffering from recalcitrant LE who were treated with ultrasound-guided RFA of the PCNF-BrEpi in the outpatient pain clinic setting. Patient follow-up was made at eight weeks, five months, and seven months.
