ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was performed to evaluate the results after a combined surgical treatment of common extensor Fasciotomy & Radial nerve decompression in recurrent lateral epicondylitis patients. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed the functional records of 6 cases of patients who were treated surgically from the February 2004 to June 2008. 2 cases had Radial tunnel syndrome, and The average duration from the time of diagnosis until operation was 23.5 months (7~38), the patients were given an average of 5.7 local steroid injections each, and they were followed up postoperatively for at least 1 year. We performed combined surgical treatment of common extensor Fasciotomy & Radial nerve decompression. The patients' pain intensity was evaluated by VAS score system before the operation, 6 months and 12 months after the operation. The objective assessment of the surgery was investigated according to the criteria by Roles and Maudsley.RESULTS:
The grasping power of the lesion site was 11.7 before surgical treatment, 18.6 and 28.3 after 6 months and 12 months. The mean VAS score was 8.2 before surgical treatment, 4.2 and 1.3 after 6 months and 12 months, respectively. The mean Simple Elbow Test Score was 1.8 before operation, 7.0 and 10.3 after 6 and 12 months, respectively. In clinical evaluation by the Roles and Maudsley's Criteria, there were 3cases assessed as excellent and 3 cases assessed as good after 12 months of follow up. No recurrence was noted and all the patients returned to the occupational activity and the average duration was 4.5 months.CONCLUSIONS:
The surgical treatment using common extensor fasciotomy and radial nerve decompression for recurrent lateral epicondylitis is considered to be one of the recommendable methods.
