What is Tennis Elbow Problem?
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a condition in which the tendons on the outer side of the elbow become inflamed, leading to pain and tenderness.
While commonly associated with tennis due to repetitive arm and wrist movements, it can also affect people who do similar activities, like carpenters, painters, or even office workers who use their hands frequently.
What are the Symptoms of Tennis Elbow?
- Pain or a burning sensation on the outer part of the elbow.
- Pain radiates from the outside of the elbow down to the forearm and wrist.
- Weak and painful grip strength.
- Pain that worsens with repetitive wrist movements.
- The elbow may feel stiff or uncomfortable after resting.
What Causes Tennis Elbow?
The causes of tennis elbow include:
- Activities involving repetitive gripping, lifting, or twisting motions, such as tennis or other racquet sports.
- Using poor technique in sports or physical activities, such as incorrect racquet grip in tennis.
- Jobs or hobbies that require repeated use of the arm and wrist.
- A sudden increase in activity or intensity, leading to strain and microtears in the tendons.
- Direct trauma, such as falls, car accidents, or workplace injuries.
How is Tennis Elbow Diagnosed?
To diagnose tennis elbow, our orthopaedic specialist will first review the patient’s medical history and symptoms.
A thorough physical examination checks for pain and tenderness on the outer elbow and evaluates grip strength. Specific movements may be used to assess discomfort levels.
Diagnostic tools like X-rays, MRI scans, or electromyograms (EMG), may be recommended to rule out other conditions, such as arthritis or nerve compression, that could contribute to the symptoms.
What is the Treatment for Tennis Elbow Injury?
Conservative Treatments
Initially, conservative tennis elbow treatment Dubai is recommended to alleviate tennis elbow symptoms, including:
- Avoid repetitive wrist and arm movements that worsen the pain.
- The use of splints or braces to reduce stress on the affected tissues.
- Apply ice packs help reduce inflammation and pain.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen help manage discomfort.
- Physical therapy can help strengthen forearm muscles and improve flexibility.
- Corticosteroid Injections can help reduce severe pain and inflammation in the short term.
- Pulsed ultrasound can help improve blood flow and promote healing in the affected tendons.
Surgical Treatments
If conservative treatments fail after 6-12 months, surgery may be considered.
Surgery involves removing damaged tendon tissue and reattaching healthy tendons to the bone. It can be done via:
- In traditional surgery for tennis elbow, a larger incision (up to 2 inches) is made near the elbow to repair the damaged tendon directly.
- In endoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive approach, one or two small incisions (½ inch) are made. A tiny camera (endoscope) guides the surgeon in trimming or releasing damaged tissue, reattaching the tendon to the bone, and removing scar tissue or bone spurs. This method typically allows for faster recovery and smaller scars.
