This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Summary

This study investigates how often people with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) also have posterolateral rotatory instability, a ligament problem that causes similar pain but requires different treatment. Researchers will check the elbow's lateral collateral ligament during scheduled surgery (arthroscopic or open) in 30 adults who have had persistent elbow pain despite medical treatment. The goal is to better understand the overlap between these conditions and improve diagnosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If the link is confirmed, it could improve diagnosis and treatment planning for elbow pain, reducing failed treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study (30 people) that only looks at surgical patients, so results may not apply to everyone with tennis elbow.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Patients with lateral epicondylitis of the elbow who require surgical treatment are referred to the orthopedics departments of Jean Mermoz Private Hospital and the Surgical Institute of the Hand and Upper Limb - ICMMS. Patients scheduled for this type of surgery and who meet the eligibility criteria will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study by the orthopedic surgeon during the pre-operative consultation. If inclusion hasn't taken place during the pre-op consultation, it can happen the day before the surgery.
