Abstract
This paper describes 44 percutaneous epicondylar releases performed on 34 patients with humeral epi condylitis. There were 35 instances of lateral epicon dylitis and 6 of medial epicondylitis. Thirty-two of the lateral releases had an excellent result and 3 were unsatisfactory. Five of the medial procedures were rated as excellent and one unsatisfactory. Two of the three unsatisfactory lateral procedures were reoper ated upon with an excellent result. The one unsatis factory medial epicondylitis underwent reoperation and had excellent results. In our experience, percutaneous release has a high rate of success, is simple to perform, does not require hospitalization, and has been without complication.
