[Long-term results of the Wilhelm denervation operation in epicondylitis humeri radialis (tennis elbow)].
Fourteen patients with epicondylitis humeri radialis, resistant to conservative therapy were surgically treated according to Wilhelm's procedure at the II. Department of Plastic Surgery, University of Vienna. The mean follow-up period was 7.6 years (1 to 14 years). This study demonstrates a marked improvement of the symptoms after operative treatment, hence it follows that Wilhelm's procedure can be recommended in patients resistant to conservative therapy.
