Abstract
Introduction: Tennis elbow is a common disorder of upper extremity. Majority of the patients can be treated
conservatively. It is the major cause of disability and time off work, after low back pain. The disease impacts upon
activities of daily living ultimately leading to a loss of functional independence and quality of life. Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to
assess the results of nondrug non-invasive treatment in the management of tennis elbow. This study was conducted in the department Methods:
of Orthopaedics from December 2010 to December 2015. One hundred ten outpatients of tennis elbow with a mean age of 45 years were studied.
They were managed with non-invasive treatment and were followed for twelve months. At twelve months follow-up visits, the intensity Results:
of tennis elbow pain and disability were assessed by using Quick dash scoring system and Patient-rated elbow evaluation system. Physician
global evaluations up to the age of 40 years at twelve months were excellent. At 40 to 60 years of age, it was good to excellent. Over the age of 60
years, it was good. The patient global evaluation was found very good up to the age of 40 years at twelve months follow up, good to very good
between 40 to 60 years and over the age of 60 years it was good. Nondrug non-invasive interve Conclusions: ntions can reduce pain and improve
function in tennis elbow.
