[Treatment of epicondylitis radialis and ulnaris humeri in tennis players with fraction bandage. Results of a field study].
Elbow bandages were tested at the Orthopaedic University Clinics Münster (Germany) and Zurich (Switzerland), as well as at the surgery of an established orthopaedic surgeon. Both the effect of the bandage, i.e. the soothing and de-swelling effect, the function improvement, therapy progress and success were monitored and evaluated. The rest was designed as a short-term study with standardised scoring. After the falsification principle, the therapeutic effect was confirmed if a positive effect was shown during this time interval. Twenty-six patients between the age 26 and 65 were tested, 16 males and 10 females. In 18 cases the right arm was treated and in 8 cases the left arm. 17 cases of epicondylitis radialis humeri and 5 cases of epicondylitis ulnaris humeri were found. The time of observation was 2 weeks. The bandage effect was examined after 7 and 14 days.
