Lateral Epicondylitis Debridement and Repair Using Knotless Suture Anchor
Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, involves degeneration of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon and is often self-limiting, with surgery reserved for recalcitrant cases. Surgical management of tennis elbow consists primarily of either debridement alone or debridement with repair. Surgical...

description | Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, involves degeneration of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon and is often self-limiting, with surgery reserved for recalcitrant cases. Surgical management of tennis elbow consists primarily of either debridement alone or debridement with repair. Surgical repair is often performed using either a suture or a suture anchor. Good outcomes have been reported using standard repair methods; however, complications exist. Complications include potential loss of grip strength with debridement alone, as well as soft-tissue irritation caused by a prominent suture or knot stack after suture repair and suture anchor techniques. We describe a technique for debridement and repair of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus using a knotless suture anchor, allowing for a watertight anatomic repair, maximum preservation of grip strength, and absence of a knot stack and resultant suture prominence. |
