Advanced Treatment
For chronic lateral epicondylitis that has not responded to conservative care, a minimally invasive procedure is available that physically removes the diseased tendon tissue — rather than masking symptoms with injections.
How it works
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the treating physician makes a small incision and advances a small-gauge device directly to the degenerative portion of the common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle. A precise, high-pressure saline jet simultaneously breaks down and removes the damaged collagen — an integrated aspiration channel clears the debris as healthy fibers are left intact. The entire procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes in an office or clinic setting under local anesthesia.
Why it works for tennis elbow specifically
Chronic lateral epicondylitis is a tendinopathy — a degenerative condition — not a simple inflammation. Cortisone injections reduce inflammation temporarily but do not address the underlying degenerated collagen, which is why pain returns. This procedure mechanically removes that degenerative tissue at the common extensor or flexor origin, targeting the actual source of chronicity. Results are confirmed under real-time imaging.
Understanding Your Condition
Lateral epicondylitis is an overuse injury of the tendons that attach to the bony prominence on the outside of the elbow. Despite the name, 95% of cases occur in non-tennis players.
