Evaluation and treatment in lateral epicondylitis
Öz
This study have been done in 28 cases of lateral epicondylitis; 17 of them were females (61%) and 11 of them were males (39%) and mean age was 43.9±6. In 14 cases there was pain with palpation in C5-6 and/or C6-7 apophyseal joints of the cervical degenerative pathological findings in all of these patients cervical X-Rays. 17 patients out of 28, have been continued to therapy. II patients who had pain in cervical spine besides elbow pain were treated by 15 sessions of Ultrasound (1 watt/cm2 para vertebral, 5 minutes) and Infrared (20 minutes) and steroid injection was appliedlocally to the lateral humeral epicondyle. Local steroids were injected to 6 patients with elbow pain only, 40 mg. methylprednisolone has been used for local injection and injection has been repeated, for recurrence of pain, on no more than there occasions.
The difference between the results of evaluation before and after the treatment was found to be statistically significant. (P<0.001) 88% of the patients responded very well to treatment and had complete cure. In 12% there was partial improvement.
Cervical factor should be taken into consideration for the evaluation of lateral epicondylitis. Management of the underlining pathology would increase the success of the treatment results.
