Tennis elbow, clinically termed as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and tenderness on the outer side of the elbow.

Tennis elbow release is a surgical intervention recommended when conservative treatments like physical therapy or corticosteroid injections do not relieve the pain caused by tennis elbow. The surgery aims to remove the damaged part of the tendon, relieving pain and helping restore function. This procedure is generally considered when the patient experiences persistent and debilitating pain for more than six months despite non-surgical treatments.
Preparation begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation, including imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound to assess the tendon's damage extent. Patients may be advised to stop certain medications that could increase bleeding risks, and physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen the forearm muscles. Smoking cessation is often urged as it can affect the healing process.
The procedure can be done through open surgery or arthroscopically. The surgeon makes an incision over the lateral epicondyle, locates the damaged tendon tissue, and then removes it. The remaining healthy tendon may be reattached, and in some cases, bone spurs, if present, are removed. The skin is then sutured closed.
Post-surgery, a bandage or splint is applied to stabilize the elbow. Physical therapy is introduced gradually to restore strength and flexibility. The pain from surgery subsides in a few days, and patients can expect to resume daily activities within 1-2 weeks. However, heavy lifting or strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 12 weeks post-surgery.
Tennis elbow release in Thailand is not only quality-centric but also cost-effective. The procedure's average cost ranges between $2,500 to $4,500, though variations can exist depending on the medical facility and surgeon's expertise. It's worth noting that this does not include expenses related to travel and accommodation.
