Abstract Background Lateral elbow pain (LEP) or lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a common problem affecting both males and females. Multiple therapeutic modalities are used with different outcomes. Objective The current study aimed at description of the effectiveness of a newly introduced modality, Perineural Injection (PNI) therapy in comparison to the already used therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) as a conventional modality in the treatment of resistant LEP (LE). Patients and methods This is a longitudinal interventional study. Thirty patients of both sexes aged between 21 to 62 years old who had LE were randomly allocated into two groups (15 each). In PNI group, 5% buffered dextrose was injected subcutaneously around the lateral epicondyle once weekly for 8 weeks. In TUS group, continuous US was used 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks. Tenderness grading scale, visual analogue scale (VAS), Patient- Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Questionnaire (PRTEE) score, and ultrasonographic evaluation were used before and 12 weeks after treatment. Results In both groups, there was a high significant clinical improvement at 12th week after treatment. However, the improvement was better in the PNI group than the TUS group. By US evaluation at 12th week after treatment, there was a significant decrease in hypoechoic areas and disturbed fibrillar pattern in PNI group compared to before therapy (p < 0.001 and = 0.025) respectively. But in TUS group, there was decrease in hypoechoic areas and tendon thickness compared to before treatment (p = 0.02 and 0.026) respectively. Conclusion Both PNI and TUS therapies for LE gave clinical improvement for pain, functional limitations and some ultrasonographic findings (as echogenity, fibrillar pattern and tendon thickness). However, PNI therapy gave better outcome as compared to TUS.

AbstractMedial and lateral elbow pain are often due to degenerative tendinosis and less commonly due to trauma. The involved structures include the flexor-pronator tendon origin in medial-sided pain and the extensor tendon origin in lateral-sided pain. Multimodality imaging is often obtained to verify the clinically suspected diagnosis, evaluate the extent of injury, and guide treatment decisions. Image-guided procedures can provide symptom relief to support physical therapy and also induce tendon healing. Surgical debridement and repair are typically performed in refractory cases, resulting in good to excellent outcomes in most cases. In this article, we review and illustrate pertinent anatomical structures of the distal humerus, emphasizing the structure and contributions of the flexor-pronator and extensor tendon origins in acute and chronic tendon abnormalities. We also discuss approaches to image-guided treatment and surgical management of medial and lateral epicondylitis.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is seen more commonly in non-athletes than athletes. Non-operative methods are the mainstay of treatment being effective in more than 95% of cases. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has shown promising results in many studies as compared to steroid injection & other modes of conservative management. Hence, this study was done to evaluate PRP efficacy in our clinical setup and in the people of age group most commonly being affected. Methods: This randomized study was conducted at Gandhi Medical College & Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal, for a period of two years from Aug 2015 to Sep 2017 on 60 consenting patients diagnosed as suffering from lateral epicondylitis. Using lottery method for randomization the patients were divided into two groups, based on which the treatment was received. Group –1 with 30 patients received 2 ml of PRP. Group –2 with 30 patients received 2 ml of Triamcinolone injection. The data collected and recorded in the appropriate proforma. Post therapy assessment was done using with Oxford elbow score. Results:  Average age at presentation was 31.11 years, Range of age was from 20 to 40 years. Maximum incidence was in the age group of 35 to 40 years. Female preponderance was observed in Group 1. Most common presenting complaint was elbow pain seen in 100% of cases. Most common side involved was the dominant side right side involvement was seen in 41 cases and left side in 19 cases. The Oxford elbow score pre-treatment in all the groups was not statistically significant and the Oxford elbow score at the end of 6 weeks,12 weeks and 24 weeks treatment showed that PRP is better than  steroid  in control of pain. Conclusion: Lateral epicondylitis/Tennis elbow is a painful debilitating condition of elbow, which creates disturbance in functional activities. A single injection of PRP at the site of the elbow pain resulted in relief of pain in patients with longer duration as compared to local steroids to other conservative treatments.

The anconeus muscle is a small and minor functioning muscle located at the posterolateral elbow region. It helps forearm extension and tightening of the joint capsule. Despite its limited functions, pathologies of the anconeus muscle can mimic other abnormalities of the elbow joint. Here, we report a rare case of a traumatic anconeus muscle contusion in a 15-year-old boy due to falling during dance. MRI showed contusion in the anconeus muscle, as well as strain in the ulnar collateral ligament and edema in the coronoid process of the ulna. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of traumatic anconeus muscle contusion in the literature. The presence of long-lasting lateral elbow pain in trauma cases without fracture should alert clinicians to consider anconeus muscle abnormalities. MRI is the best modality for diagnosis in these cases.
