In a tennis arm/tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis, the tendon of the short

wrist extensor (extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle) attached to the lateral bony

prominence of the upper arm (epicondylus lateralis humeri) is painfully altered and

degenerated. Circulation and regeneration can be stimulated by multiple perforations of this tendon in combination with an injection (for example, autologous blood, platelet rich plasma).

ITEC Medical offers a unique, new, simple, safe and fast treatment for this common

medical condition. With a device, the tendon can be perforated, after having determined

by ultrasound how deep the tendon lies within the patient. During the perforation,

injections can be given right into the tendon at the same time.

Since the lateral elbow pain can be associated with a number of other causes (cartilage damage, mucosal fold syndrome, ligament instability, nerve damage, etc.), a well-founded diagnosis by an experienced physician is necessary.
