Arthroscopic Repair of Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis in Patients With Tennis Elbow

Abstract Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, has been attributed to the degeneration of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon, with surgery reserved for recalcitrant cases. Surgical intervention of lateral epicondylitis includes release alone or release with repair. Outcomes of open surgical repair have been reported with better preservation of the grip strength than release alone. We describe a technique for the release and repair of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon using an arthroscopic approach, which could be used to repair the extensor carpi radialis brevis with minimal invasion and to address the concomitant intra‐articular pathology.
