Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
We propose a randomized, double-blind controlled trial comparing arthroscopic release with arthroscopic debridement for the management of chronic tennis elbow in an effort to definitively determine whether arthroscopic tennis elbow release is an effective treatment of tennis elbow, and to further provide better recommendations for the use of this procedure, in an effort to improve patient care.
