Randomized controlled trial, EpicondylitisAbstract
Objective: To rule out the presence of inflammation around the lateral epicondyle in patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis and have at least 3 mo of history from onset of symptoms.
Methods: A total of 30 subjects were taken, both males and females between the age group 25 to 55 to observe the changes over and near the lateral epicondyle along with tendons of ECRB, ECB, Triceps, and with all insertional sites over and near the lateral epicondyle for inflammation under a guidance and supervision of a radiologist with help of MSK USG.
Results: No inflammatory changes were found in any of the subjects regardless of duration, age and signs and symptoms.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that lateral epicondylitis is a misnomer and there is no to assess the condition to rule out pathophysiology and management.
