Tennis Elbow
Abstract
The use of shock wave therapy (ESWT) and radial pressure-wave therapy (rESWT) is controversial in chronic musculoskeletal pain. The aim of this literature review is to assess the effect of these therapies in rotator cuff syndrome with and without calcium deposits, lateral epicondylitis and planar fa...

Abstract
Elbow injuries in the pediatric and adolescent population represent a spectrum of pathology that can be categorized as medial tension injuries, lateral compression injuries, and posterior shear injuries. Early and accurate diagnosis can improve outcomes for both nonoperative and operative treatments...

Abstract
Epicondylitis is a diagnostic term that describes a pattern of pain and tenderness localized to the medial or lateral epicondyles of the distal humerus. The pathoanatomy, clinical presentation, and treatment of these disorders is described. Nonoperative treatment, operative techniques, postoperative...

Abstract
Isokinetic eccentric training of the wrist extensors has recently been shown to be effective in treating chronic lateral epicondylosis. However, isokinetic dynamometry is not widely available or practical for daily exercise prescription. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the effic...

The study provides new key information regarding mechanical pain hyperalgesia in experimentally induced LE. Topographical pressure pain sensitivity maps from the elbow region revealed heterogeneously distributed mechanical sensitivity before and during DOMS. The most sensitive localizations for PPT...

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that many localized tendinopathies are related more to degenerative than inflammatory processes. With this realization, there is increased emphasis on finding new modalities to treat tendinopathies and other localized musculoskeletal conditions that rely on other than anti-i...

The effective rate was 82. 9% in continuous wave group, and 84. 1% in rarefaction wave group, with no significant difference in statistical analysis (P>0.05). The healing rate was 56. 8% in rarefaction wave group, better than 31. 7% in continuous wave group (P<0.05). The VAS scores were significantl...

Abstract
This revealed a widespread mechanical hypersensitivity in patients with LE, which suggest that central sensitization mechanisms are involved in patients with unilateral LE. The generalized decrease in PPT levels was associated with elbow pain intensity, supporting a role of peripheral sensitization...

All cases of lateral epicondylitis surgically treated in Dr. Pruzansky's office practice between October 1986 and December 2005 yielded 24 elbows for this study. Patients were treated with surgical débridement and direct repair to bone through bone tunnels (18 elbows), repair with suture anchors (3...

The elbow is one of the most commonly injured joints in sports activities. In particular, weight lifters, golfers, tennis players, and pitchers are affected. Injuries in sports involving overhead throwing are commonly based on the pathophysiologic model of valgus extension overload syndrome. The inj...

Abstract
High bone uptake of (99m)Tc-HDP among patients with chronic epicondylitis was associated with better muscle strength, work ability, and arm function. In chronic cases, a higher degree of bone uptake of (99m)Tc-HDP may thus indicate a healing response in the bone tissue....

A total of 27 of 31 patients reported that their LE had become much better or that all the pain had gone. The Quick DASH score decreased from 66 preoperatively to 13 at the follow-up (p < 0.001). Surgery achieved its maximal effect on average four weeks after surgery. Two patients experienced that t...

Despite the activity of the musculature around the elbow and the high angular velocity and stresses, distal biceps tendon injury is rare in the overhead athlete. The biomechanics of the throwing motion and electromyographic studies of the elbow provide useful clues as to why the biceps stays relativ...

Tennis elbow typically presents as pain and localized tenderness at the lateral aspect of the elbow. It is the most common diagnosis related to the elbow. Microtrauma at the vicinity of the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis muscle is postulated to be the cause of this clinical entity. Initial treatment...
