What Causes Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) develops from a mix of factors, both genetic and environmental. In many cases, pain on the outside of the elbow results after repetitive activity causes small injuries to the tendons that attach at that point.

Because these tendons have relatively poor blood supply, the body often struggles to fully heal the repeated micro-injury, which can lead to chronic tendon tearing and degeneration, a condition known as tendinosis.

Downsides of Tennis Elbow Surgery

Tennis elbow repair surgery is an invasive procedure. Surgeons typically address the underlying problem by debriding, scraping, or cutting out the affected tissue.

Considerations With Surgical Treatment:

  • Prolonged downtime and extended recovery periods
  • Invasive surgical risks such as infection
  • Risk of incomplete or unsatisfactory long-term pain relief
  • Permanent structural alteration of tendon tissue

Non-Surgical Treatment for Tennis Elbow at IROSM

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis) involve inflammation or degeneration of the tendons around the elbow. This condition classically develops from overuse through sports or everyday activities, and can cause ongoing pain even with minimal activity or at rest.

Lifting items often makes the pain worse. Elbow tendon pain often responds to conservative measures such as rest, anti-inflammatory medication, and bracing. More severe or chronic cases may require surgery, but for patients who don’t qualify for surgery or would prefer to avoid it, orthobiologic treatments are often worth considering.

At IROSM in Fort Lauderdale, lateral epicondylitis is treated using ultrasound-guided, intra-tendinous LR-PRP (Leukocyte-Rich Platelet-Rich Plasma), a precision technique that places concentrated platelets directly into the affected tendon tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow?

What is the difference between tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow?
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow. Both result from repetitive micro-injury and chronic tendon degeneration.

How does PRP therapy help treat tennis elbow?

How does PRP therapy help treat tennis elbow?
PRP therapy uses concentrated platelets from your own blood, injected directly into the damaged elbow tendon using precision ultrasound guidance. This delivers growth factors that may help support healing in tissue that typically has limited natural blood supply.

Can orthobiologic treatments help me avoid tennis elbow surgery?

Can orthobiologic treatments help me avoid tennis elbow surgery?
For some patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis who have not found relief with conservative measures like bracing or rest, orthobiologic procedures may offer a path toward relief without invasive surgery. Outcomes vary by patient, and a clinical evaluation can help determine if you’re a candidate.
