Clark T, et al. - In this randomized clinical trial, researchers investigated the differences in quality of life and function, as measured using subjective questionnaires and clinical assessment, after open vs arthroscopic debridement of the pathologic extensor carpi radialis brevis origin in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis at 1 year postoperatively. Patients older than 16 years with a minimum of 6 months of nonoperative management for lateral epicondylitis were randomized: 37 patients to the open technique and 38 to the arthroscopic technique. As per outcomes, the 2 operative modalities were not different when examining the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, visual analog scale score, Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) score, grip strength, or complication rate at 12 months postoperatively. Open release seemed to be favored by shorter operative time coupled with potentially less setup time.
