Percutaneous Ultrasonic Tenotomy for Refractory Common Extensor Tendinopathy Following Failed Open Surgical Release: A Report of Two Cases

Common extensor tendinopathy (CET) is a common painful overuse and degenerative condition of the lateral elbow, affecting an estimated 2 million patients per year. Although many cases resolve with conservative treatment, recalcitrant cases may progress to open surgical intervention. For patients who fail to improve with surgical management, treatment options are extremely limited. In this manuscript, we present two cases of recalcitrant surgically treated CET successfully treated with sonographically guided percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy (UT) with 1 year follow-up.
