Benefit of Arthroscopy in Differential Diagnostics and Therapy of Lateral Epicondylitis

CONCLUSIONS Arthroscopic examination of the elbow joint makes it possible to diagnose all potential intraarticular sources of difficulties. Simultaneous elbow arthroscopy and open treatment of radial epicondylitis (release of ECRB or EDC, ECU, necrotic tissue excision, deperiostation and radial epicondyle microfractures) is a safe method with low morbidity, faster rehabilitation and return to the original activities based on subjective evaluation of patients and objective scoring. Key words: lateral epicondylitis, radiohumeral plica, elbow arthroscopy.PMID:36907582
