Despite the "itis" suffix, it is no an inflammatory process. Therapeutic approaches with topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cortico steroids and anesthetics have limited benefit, as would be expected if inflammation is not involved. Other ap proaches have included provision of healing cytokine from blood products or stem cells, based on the recog nition that this repetitive effort-derived disorder repre sents injury. Noting calcification/ossification of tendon attachments to the lateral epicondyle(enthesitis), dry needling, radiofrequency, shock wave treatments and surgical approaches have also been pursued. Physi ologic approaches, including manipulation, therapeuti ultrasound, phonophoresis, iontophoresis, acupuncture and exposure of the area to low level laser light, ha also had limited success. This contrasts with the benefi of a simple mechanical intervention, reducing the stres on the attachment area. This is based on displacemen of the stress by use of a thin(3/4-1 inch) band applied just distal to the epicondyle. Thin bands are required as thick bands(e.g., 2-3 inch wide) simply reduce mus cle strength, without significantly reducing stress. Thi approach appears to be associated with a failure rateless than 1%, assuming the afflicted individual modifies the activity that repeatedly stresses the epicondylar attachments.展开更多

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a biological component shown to be beneficial for different orthopedic dysfunctionalities treatment. The presence of GFs in PRPs such as transforming growth factor-β, insulin-like growth factor 1co-stimulate the mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts secretions and promotes the fibrin matrix formation which effectively drive the healing process, induces regenerative response and lead to the damage structure repair in orthopedics trauma. Methods: Three groups of a total of 30 patients presenting OA, CT and TE diagnosis, non-responding to corticosteroid, HA and non-steroid anti-inflammatory treatments were randomized to undergo one intra-articular injections of single high dose of PRP. The efficacy of Intra-articular PRP Injections was evaluated before the injection and one month after. The efficiency assessment score was based on [1] Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, [2] Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS) Arabic (KSA) version LK 1.0, [3] HOOS-Physical Function Short form (HOOS-PS), and [4] Macdermid patient-rated Tennis Elbow. Results: A significant reduction of pain and a marked improvement in movements was observed in the 3 patient’s groups, PRP-injected patients showed significantly higher values compared with baseline: (p < 0.005 vs baseline), improve functional status and reduce clearly the articular dysfunctions over the time. In our study, single High dose injection of PRP provided an overall superior clinical improvement compared with HA and corticosteroid treatments over the time and the different follow-up checkpoints of the study.展开更多

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of muscle stretching and deep friction massage with using wrist joint support during management of tennis elbow. This study included forty patients with tennis elbow divided into two equal groups: the first group with a mean age 38.1 ± 0.294 followed a physical therapy program in form of deep friction massage on the proximal attachment of wrist extensor muscles, the second group with a mean age 37.6 ± 0.253, submitted to stretching exercises of wrist extensors. Both of groups submitted to ultrasonic therapy with wrist splint during treatment period, three sessions per week for six weeks. Outcome measures were universal goniometer, visual analogue scale, and squeezing sphygmomanometer. The results showed that there was a significant improvement in ROM of wrist flexion and wrist extension, and handgrip in second group and it was more than in the first group while no significant difference in pain. This study showed that stretching exercise is more beneficial in the management of patients with tennis elbow.展开更多

A plethora of physiotherapy techniques has been proposed in the management of LET. The exercise programme is the most common treatment in the management of LET. The optimal protocol of exercise programme is still unknown. The effectiveness of the exercise programme is low when it is applied as monotherapy. Therefore, exercise programme is combined with other physiotherapy modalities such as soft tissue techniques, external support, acupuncture, manual therapy and electrotherapy, in the treatment of LET. Future research is needed to determine which treatment strategy combined with exercise programme will provide the best results in LET rehabilitation.展开更多
