Conditions

  • Tennis Elbow

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Radiofrequency microtenotomy

For the minimally invasive surgery will Arthrocare Topaz MicroDebrider device be used. A small incision will be made and the tip of the device is placed on surface of the tendon to structure and activated for 0.5 second, at 5 mm distance intervals on the tendon creating a grid-like pattern.

OTHER

Eccentric exercise

Eccentric exercise for 3 months. The exercise will be performed once a day with 3 set and 5 reps, women start with 0.5 and men 1.0 kilo with a 10 % increase every week.
