No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We wish to address the efficacy and safety of Platelet Rich Plasma (blood platelets), a new treatment for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and compare this new treatment to either injection with steroid or saline solution.

All injections are guided by ultrasonography.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Platelet Rich Plasma

27ml of autologous whole blood added to 3ml of ACD-A (Citrate Anticoagulant). After separation of the platelets, a high concentration of platelets (3-4ml Platelet Rich Plasma) is injected into the tendon through 7 perforations of the tendon, guided by ultrasound.

PROCEDURE

Isotonic Saline Solutions

3ml of Isotonic Saline Solution is injected into the tendon through 7 perforations of the tendon, guided by ultrasound.

DRUG

Triamcinolonacetonid

Triamcinolonacetonid 40mg/ml. 40mg of Triamcinolonacetonid is mixed with 2ml of Lidocaine 10mg/ml. It is injected deep into the tendon, guided by ultrasound.
