Tennis Elbow PRP Discussion at ESSKA in Oslo, Norway

Dr. Pietro Randelli moderated an excellent discussion of the treatment of tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) at the recent ESSKA meeting in Oslo, Norway.  Presentations about conservative care, platelet rich plasma injections and surgical treatment were given, including a debate about open versus arthroscopic techniques.  It is clear there are a variety of treatment options for this problem.  Platelet rich plasma is now considered a viable non-operative option.  Further data is presently being developed about the value of PRP vs surgery.  Stay tuned.
