[G. Homann's operation on the elbow--surgical treatment of a symptom?].
Lateral epicondylopathy, well known as "tennis elbow", sometimes may only be a symptom of cervical spine and shoulder diseases or may also occur in neuropathy or arthropathy of the elbow or wrist joint. A follow-up of 63 patients, four years after Hohmann's procedure, shows that there really exists an idiopathic form of this disease. Careful differential diagnosis and special consideration of the epidemiology is of prime importance if conservative treatment and surgery is to be successful.
