Analgesic effect of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy on chronic tennis elbow
TLDR
There was significant alleviation of pain and improvement of function after treatment in group I in which there was a good or excellent outcome in 48% and an acceptable result in 42% at the final review, compared with 6% and 24%, respectively, in group II.Abstract:
We report a controlled, prospective study to investigate the effect of treatment by low-energy extracorporeal shock waves on pain in tennis elbow. We assigned at random 100 patients who had had symptoms for more than 12 months to two groups to receive low-energy shock-wave therapy. Group I received a total of 3000 impulses of 0.08 mJ/mm 2 and group II, the control group, 30 impulses. The patients were reviewed after 3, 6 and 24 weeks. There was significant alleviation of pain and improvement of function after treatment in group I in which there was a good or excellent outcome in 48% and an acceptable result in 42% at the final review, compared with 6% and 24%, respectively, in group II.read more

Refractory patella tendinopathy with failed conservative treatment-shock wave or arthroscopy?
TL;DR: An MRI is performed to determine the precise location of tendinosis in patients with refractory PT who fail standard conservative management and if the MRI scan shows intratendon changes only, ESWT should be performed and those with extension into the fat pad should proceed to arthroscopic debridement without rESWT.

Lack of scientific evidence for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis of the elbow. An attempted meta-analysis
TL;DR: There was insufficient scientific evidence to support any of the current methods of treatment for lateral epicondylitis of the elbow, and the importance of the natural evolution of the syndrome and of the placebo effect of all treatments was established.
