Radiofrequency microtenotomy successful in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Radiofrequency microtenotomy: a promising method for treatment of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis
Am J Sports Med. 2008 Oct;36(10):1960-5. Epub 2008 Jun 1624 patients with lateral epicondylitis were randomized to undergo either a radiofrequency microtenotomy or extensor tendon release and repair to compare clinical outcomes between these two treatments. The results indicated that the microtenotomy procedure resulted in earlier pain relief that persisted throughout 10 to 18 months, and a significant improvement in grip strength. The results demonstrated that this microtenotomy treatment is considered a safe and effective alternative to extensor tendon; however, more clinical trials are needed to support this finding.
