[Results of the treatment of humeral epicondylitis in Baildon foundry workers in Katowice by local injections of Depo-Medrol].
Described in the paper are the results of treatment of epicondylitis humeri by local injections of Depo Medrol. Thirty hard working subjects (28 men and 2 women) have been controlled to check efficiency of the treatment. Good and very good results have been obtained in 87% of cases. The author shares the view enhanced in literature, that no more than 4-5 injections of Depo Medrol should be applied. If those injections are ineffective, and other possible reasons for the disease have been excluded and other methods of conservative treatment--exhausted the author suggests the operative treatment. Five subjects (4 men and 1 woman) exhibited a specific depigmentation and atrophy of skin at the injection place.
