Pragmatic randomised controlled trial of local corticosteroid injection and naproxen for treatment of lateral epicondylitis of elbow in primary care. (1/129)
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effectiveness of local corticosteroid injection, standard non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and simple analgesics for the early treatment of lateral epicondylitis in primary care. DESIGN: Multicentre pragmatic randomised controlled trial. SETTING: 23 general practices in North Staffordshire and South Cheshire. PARTICIPANTS: 164 patients aged 18-70 years presenting with a new episode of lateral epicondylitis. INTERVENTIONS: Local injection of 20 mg methylprednisolone plus lignocaine, naproxen 500 mg twice daily for two weeks, or placebo tablets. All participants received a standard advice sheet and co-codamol as required. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Participants' global assessment of improvement (five point scale) at four weeks. Pain, function, and "main complaint" measured on 10 point Likert scales at 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months. RESULTS: Over 2 years, 53 subjects were randomised to injection, 53 to naproxen, and 58 to placebo. Prognostic variables were similar between groups at baseline. At 4 weeks, 48 patients (92%) in the injection group were completely better or improved compared with 30 (57%) in the naproxen group (P<0.001) and 28 (50%) in the placebo group (P<0.001). At 12 months, 43 patients (84%) in the injection group had pain scores 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Early local corticosteroid injection is effective for lateral epicondylitis. Outcome at one year was good in all groups, and effective early treatment does not seem to influence this. (+info)Extensor carpi radialis brevis. An anatomical analysis of its origin. (2/129)
We studied the origin of extensor carpi radialis brevis using 40 fresh frozen human cadaver specimens. Ten were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and trichrome which showed the collagenous structure of the extensor tendons at their origin. Gross anatomical observation showed that there was no definitive separation between brevis and communis at the osseotendinous junction. The histological findings confirmed the lack of separation between the two tendons. The extensor tendons were in close proximity to the joint capsule but trichrome staining showed no interdigitation of the tendon with the capsule. The validity of ascribing the pain of lateral epicondylitis to extensor carpi radialis brevis must be questioned. It appears to arise more from the 'common extensor' origin. (+info)Novel use of laser Doppler imaging for investigating epicondylitis. (3/129)
OBJECTIVE: This investigation evaluated a novel form of tissue perfusion measurement, laser Doppler imaging (LDI), in a case of lateral epicondylitis to establish if it might have applications in assessing soft tissue lesions. LDI was used in conjunction with ultrasonography to provide information about tissue oedema as well as the power Doppler signal as an alternative method of assessing blood flow. METHODS: A laser Doppler imager with a near-infrared (NIR) laser source was used to improve tissue penetration and yield measurements of perfusion (flux) from structures under the skin. Skin temperature over the lateral epicondylar region was also measured. Ultrasonography was used in both grey-scale and power Doppler modes. LDI, temperature measurements and ultrasonographic data were obtained before treatment and serially after local injection of methylprednisolone. RESULTS: Before treatment there was increased perfusion and skin temperature and the presence of a power Doppler sign associated with the right lateral epicondyle as well as oedema at the extensor origin. None of these was present at the asymptomatic contralateral epicondylar region. Twenty-four hours after methylprednisolone administration, both perfusion and skin temperature had increased, and they declined over the subsequent 48 h. Although skin temperature had declined to normal (referenced to the contralateral epicondyle) by the third day after injection, it took until the eleventh day after injection for perfusion to normalize. CONCLUSIONS: LDI using an NIR laser source appears to be an effective non-invasive method for the examination of inflammatory responses in soft tissue, with greater sensitivity than thermally based methods. In addition, LDI was found to correlate with power Doppler ultrasonography. (+info)Nirschl tennis elbow release with or without drilling. (4/129)
Nirschl release appears to be a very successful technique for surgically suitable cases of tennis elbow. However, although the drilling or decortication aspect of the procedure was thought to be of benefit to the immediate outcome, this has not actually been confirmed. This randomised double blind comparative prospective trial shows that drilling confers no benefit and actually causes more pain, stiffness, and wound bleeding than not drilling. (+info)Elbow injuries in golf. (5/129)
Golf is not a sport known for its high injury level; however, injuries do occur. Such mishaps usually involve overuse-type injuries that are more common among amateur golfers than among professional golfers. This article attempts to provide an overview of golf injuries to the elbow, with a concentration on incidence, proper diagnosis, adequate treatment (including rehabilitation), and prevention strategies. After reading this article, primary care physicians should be able to manage most golfing injuries to the elbow. (+info)Lateral epicondylitis in a hospital phlebotomist--an ergonomic solution. (6/129)
This report outlines a case of lateral epicondylitis in a hospital phlebotomist thought to be due to the forceful gripping, and repetitive twisting, involved in breaking the seals on green vacutainer needles. An ergonomic solution in the form of a device to aid breaking of the vacutainer seals is presented. The importance of seeking ergonomic solutions with manufacturers is highlighted. (+info)Orthotic devices for tennis elbow: a systematic review. (7/129)
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is af requently reported condition. A wide variety of treatment strategies has been described. Asy et, no optimal strategy has been identified. The aim of this review was to assess the effectiveness of orthotic devices for treatment of tennis elbow. An electronic database search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Controlled Trial Register Current Contents, and reference listsf rom all retrieved articles. Experts on the subjects were approachedfor additional trials. All randomised controlled trials (RCTs) descrbiing individuals with diagnosed lateral epicondylitis and assessing the use of an orthotic device as a treatment strategy were evaluatedfor inclusion. Two reviewers independently assessed the validity of the included trials and extracted data on relevant outcome measures. Dichotomous outcomes were expressed as relative risks and continuous outcomes as standardised mean differences, both with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Statistical pooling and subgroup analyses were intended. Five small-size RCTs (n = 7-49 per group) were included the validity score ranged from three to nine positive items out of 11. Subgroup analyses were not performed owing to the small number of trials. The limited number of included trials present few outcome measures and limited long-term results. Pooling was not possible owing to the high level of heterogeneity of the trials. No definitive conclusions can be drawn concerning effectiveness of orthotic devices for lateral epicondylitis. More well-designed and well-conducted RCTs of sufficient power are warranted. (+info)Acupuncture in chronic epicondylitis: a randomized controlled trial. (8/129)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis. METHODS: In a randomized, investigator- and patient-blinded, controlled clinical study, 23 patients were treated with real acupuncture and 22 patients received sham acupuncture. Patients each received 10 treatments, with two treatments per week. The primary outcome variables were maximal strength, pain intensity (verbal rating scale) and disability scale (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire). Patients were examined at baseline (1 week before the start of treatment) and at follow-up 2 weeks and 2 months after the end of treatment. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the groups at baseline for any outcome parameter. Two weeks and 2 months after the end of treatment, there were significant reductions in pain intensity and improvements in the function of the arm and in maximal strength in both treatment groups. At the 2-week follow-up these differences were significantly greater for all outcome parameters in the group treated with real acupuncture. At 2 months the function of the arm was still better in this group than in the sham acupuncture group; however, the differences in pain intensity and maximal strength between the groups were no longer significant. CONCLUSION: In the treatment of chronic epicondylopathia lateralis humeri, acupuncture in which real acupuncture points were selected and stimulated was superior to non-specific acupuncture with respect to reduction in pain and improvement in the functioning of the arm. These changes are particularly marked at early follow-up. (+info)Tennis Elbow, also known as Lateral Epicondylitis, is a common cause of pain on the outside (lateral) part of the elbow. It's an overuse injury that causes inflammation and microtears in the tendons that attach to the bony prominence (epicondyle) on the outer side of the elbow, specifically where the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle tendon inserts. Despite its name, this condition is not limited to tennis players; it can occur in any activity that involves repetitive and forceful gripping or wrist extension, such as painting, plumbing, cooking, or using tools. Symptoms often include pain and tenderness on the outer elbow, weakened grip strength, and sometimes radiating pain down the forearm.
The elbow joint, also known as the cubitus joint, is a hinge joint that connects the humerus bone of the upper arm to the radius and ulna bones of the forearm. It allows for flexion and extension movements of the forearm, as well as some degree of rotation. The main articulation occurs between the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna, while the radial head of the radius also contributes to the joint's stability and motion. Ligaments, muscles, and tendons surround and support the elbow joint, providing strength and protection during movement.
The elbow is a joint formed by the articulation between the humerus bone of the upper arm and the radius and ulna bones of the forearm. It allows for flexion, extension, and rotation of the forearm. The medical definition of "elbow" refers to this specific anatomical structure and its associated functions in human anatomy.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Tennis" is generally not a term that has a medical definition. It is most commonly known as a sport or game played with rackets and a ball on a court with a net dividing the space in half. If you have any questions about a specific medical condition or term, I'd be happy to help if I can!
High-energy shock waves are intense, short pulses of mechanical energy that can be used in medical treatments. They are created by rapidly accelerating and decelerating a substance, such as gas or liquid, to produce a compression wave that travels through a medium. When this compression wave encounters a boundary between tissues with different acoustic impedances, it reflects back and creates a shock wave with high-energy peaks.
In medical terms, high-energy shock waves are often used in the treatment of various conditions, such as kidney stones (lithotripsy), musculoskeletal disorders (extracorporeal shock wave therapy or ESWT), and wound healing. The high-energy peaks of the shock waves can cause cavitation, tissue fracture, and other biological effects that can help break up kidney stones, stimulate tissue regeneration, and improve blood flow to promote healing.
It is important to note that while high-energy shock waves have therapeutic benefits, they can also cause harm if not used properly. Therefore, it is essential to receive treatment from a qualified medical professional who has experience in administering shock wave therapy.
Sodium morrhuate is a pharmaceutical preparation that is derived from cod liver oil. It is a form of sodium salt of oleic acid, which is an unsaturated fatty acid. Sodium morrhuate has been used medically as a sclerosing agent, which means it is used to intentionally irritate and damage the inner lining of blood vessels in order to cause scarring and narrowing of the vessel. This can be used to treat conditions such as varicose veins or hemorrhoids.
It's important to note that sodium morrhuate is not a commonly used medication, and its use has declined due to the availability of other sclerosing agents that may have fewer side effects. As with any medical treatment, it should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
Tenotomy is a surgical procedure where a tight or contracted tendon is cut to help relieve tension, improve mobility, and treat various musculoskeletal conditions. Tendons are strong bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. In some cases, tendons can become shortened, thickened, or stiff due to injury, disease, or overuse, leading to limited movement, pain, or deformity.
During a tenotomy, the surgeon locates the affected tendon and carefully incises it, allowing the attached muscle to lengthen gradually. This procedure can be performed on different tendons throughout the body, depending on the specific condition being addressed. Tenotomy is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physical therapy or casting, to ensure optimal recovery and functional improvement.
Common indications for tenotomy include:
1. Contractures in children with cerebral palsy or other neurological disorders
2. Shortening of the Achilles tendon (equinus deformity) in adults with foot drop or spasticity
3. Dupuytren's contracture, a thickening and shortening of the palmar fascia in the hand
4. Trigger finger, a condition where the flexor tendon in the finger becomes stuck due to nodule formation
5. Certain types of tendon injuries or tears that do not respond to non-surgical treatment.
Tendinopathy is a general term referring to the degeneration or dysrepair of a tendon, which can result in pain and impaired function. It was previously referred to as tendinitis or tendinosis, but tendinopathy is now preferred because it describes various pathological conditions within the tendon, rather than a specific diagnosis.
Tendinopathy often develops due to overuse, repetitive strain, or age-related wear and tear. The condition typically involves collagen breakdown in the tendon, along with an increase in disorganized tenocytes (tendon cells) and vascular changes. This process can lead to thickening of the tendon, loss of elasticity, and the formation of calcium deposits or nodules.
Commonly affected tendons include the Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder, and the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon in the elbow (also known as tennis elbow). Treatment for tendinopathy often includes rest, physical therapy, exercise, pain management, and occasionally, surgical intervention.
Triamcinolone is a glucocorticoid medication, which is a class of corticosteroids. It is used to treat various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Triamcinolone is available in several forms, including topical creams, ointments, and lotions for skin application; oral tablets and injectable solutions for systemic use; and inhaled preparations for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions.
Triamcinolone works by binding to specific receptors in cells, which leads to a decrease in the production of inflammatory chemicals such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This results in reduced swelling, redness, itching, and pain associated with inflammation.
Some common uses of triamcinolone include treating skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis; managing allergic reactions; reducing inflammation in respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD; and alleviating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders.
As with any medication, triamcinolone can have side effects, especially when used in high doses or for extended periods. Common side effects include increased appetite, weight gain, mood changes, insomnia, acne, thinning of the skin, and easy bruising. Long-term use may also lead to more serious complications such as osteoporosis, adrenal suppression, and increased susceptibility to infections. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully when using triamcinolone or any other prescription medication.
Intra-articular injections refer to the administration of medication directly into a joint space. This route of administration is used for treating various joint conditions such as inflammation, pain, and arthritis. Commonly injected medications include corticosteroids, local anesthetics, and viscosupplementation agents. The procedure is usually performed using imaging guidance, like ultrasound or fluoroscopy, to ensure accurate placement of the medication within the joint.
Pain measurement, in a medical context, refers to the quantification or evaluation of the intensity and/or unpleasantness of a patient's subjective pain experience. This is typically accomplished through the use of standardized self-report measures such as numerical rating scales (NRS), visual analog scales (VAS), or categorical scales (mild, moderate, severe). In some cases, physiological measures like heart rate, blood pressure, and facial expressions may also be used to supplement self-reported pain ratings. The goal of pain measurement is to help healthcare providers better understand the nature and severity of a patient's pain in order to develop an effective treatment plan.
A tendon is the strong, flexible band of tissue that connects muscle to bone. It helps transfer the force produced by the muscle to allow various movements of our body parts. Tendons are made up of collagen fibers arranged in parallel bundles and have a poor blood supply, making them prone to injuries and slow to heal. Examples include the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone, and the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone.
Physical therapy modalities refer to the various forms of treatment that physical therapists use to help reduce pain, promote healing, and restore function to the body. These modalities can include:
1. Heat therapy: This includes the use of hot packs, paraffin baths, and infrared heat to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and relieve pain.
2. Cold therapy: Also known as cryotherapy, this involves the use of ice packs, cold compresses, or cooling gels to reduce inflammation, numb the area, and relieve pain.
3. Electrical stimulation: This uses electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscles, which can help to reduce pain, promote healing, and improve muscle strength and function.
4. Ultrasound: This uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
5. Manual therapy: This includes techniques such as massage, joint mobilization, and stretching, which are used to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and promote relaxation.
6. Traction: This is a technique that uses gentle pulling on the spine or other joints to help relieve pressure and improve alignment.
7. Light therapy: Also known as phototherapy, this involves the use of low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to promote healing and reduce pain and inflammation.
8. Therapeutic exercise: This includes a range of exercises that are designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, and help patients recover from injury or illness.
Physical therapy modalities are often used in combination with other treatments, such as manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, to provide a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and pain management.
Hand strength refers to the measure of force or power that an individual can generate using the muscles of the hand and forearm. It is often assessed through various tests, such as grip strength dynamometry, which measures the maximum force exerted by the hand when squeezing a device called a handgrip dynanometer. Hand strength is important for performing daily activities, maintaining independence, and can be indicative of overall health and well-being. Reduced hand strength may be associated with conditions such as neuromuscular disorders, arthritis, or injuries.
Arthroplasty, replacement, elbow is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased elbow joint is replaced with an artificial one. The procedure involves removing the damaged parts of the humerus (upper arm bone) and ulna (forearm bone) and replacing them with metal or plastic components that are designed to replicate the movement of a natural elbow joint.
The goal of elbow replacement surgery is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function to the elbow joint. This procedure may be recommended for individuals who have severe arthritis, joint damage due to trauma, or other conditions that cause chronic elbow pain and limit mobility. After surgery, patients typically undergo a period of rehabilitation to help them regain strength and range of motion in their elbow.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Golf" is not a medical term. It is a sport that involves hitting a small ball with various clubs into a series of holes on a course, typically in as few strokes as possible. If you have any medical questions or terms you would like defined, I'd be happy to help!
