title: Arthroscopic treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
abstract: Lateral epicondylitis refractory to conservative care can be effectively treated by arthroscopic release of the extensor carpi radialis brevis origin. Advantages to the technique include the ability to address other intra-articular sources of pain (capsular tears, radiocapitellar plica, etc.), a potentially faster return to work and sports, and a smaller incision. This article provides step-by-step descriptions and illustrations of the surgical technique.
