Lateral Epicondylitis: Treatment Preferences from the Potential Patient Perspective

With prolonged symptoms, respondents were interested in discussions of surgical intervention and thus, it should continue to be offered to patients with recalcitrant symptoms.PMID:38596580 | PMC:PMC11000778 | DOI:10.1097/GOX.0000000000005706
