NCT01618487 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 150

Last updated 2018-01-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigator hopes to determine if one of three current standard of care surgeries for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is more effective than others. The three surgeries are: arthroscopic tenotomy, open tenotomy, and debridement and repair.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis
  • Tennis Elbow

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Arthroscopic tenotomy

This is a surgical procedure where small incisions are made and a scope is used to see the tendon and release it.

PROCEDURE

Open tenotomy

This involves opening the skin on the arm up to expose the muscle and tendon. There is a total of 1 incision made.

PROCEDURE

Debridement and repair

This involves using an arthroscopic technique (using a scope and a small incision) to go in and remove any tissue that is diseased/does not belong and repairing the tear(s) in the tendon. There is a total of 1-2 incisions made.
