Video Summary
Dr. shares 20 years treating orthoscopic tennis elbow, a tendinosis marked by disorganized collagen, not inflammation. Diagnosis is clinical, supported by radiographs and MRI to assess tears or instability. Many lateral elbow pains mimic tennis elbow but stem from other issues like distal biceps partial tears or arthritis. Non-surgical treatment is primary; surgery is for persistent symptoms after 6-12 months. Arthroscopic surgery offers effective tendon debridement, quicker recovery, and addresses instability, with a learning curve involved. Avoid multiple corticosteroid injections. Proper MRI and intraoperative assessment of ligament involvement optimize outcomes. Surgery is safe and highly successful when all pathology is addressed.
