简要总结
Common extensor tendon (CET) tears that can be detected with ultrasonography (US) may be associated with worsening clinical and other ultrasonographic parameters in patients with LE. In this retrospective evaluation of patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE), the effect of common extensor tendon (CET) tears revealed by ultrasonography (US) with demographic, clinical, and other US findings was investigated.
详细描述
The files of 227 patients with LE who applied to Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed retrospectively.
The demographic characteristics of the patients were recorded.
First of all, common extensor tendon tears, if it existed, were demonstrated with ultrasonography. Then, primary and secondary outcome measures were performed.
Maximum tendon thickness measurements (capitellar - radiocapitellar) and the presence of bone abnormality were detected with ultrasonography of the lateral epicondyle region of the humerus.
The VAS was used to assess pain and was evaluated separately for pain at rest (VAS-rest), at night (VAS-night), and during ADL (VAS-ADL).

结局指标
主要结局
Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE)
时间窗: Day 1
PRTEE consists of two sub-sections (pain and function): the severity of pain in the elbow and functional deficiencies. The Turkish version of the PRTEE questionnaire was used. PRTEE total score will be evaluated between 0-100. A higher score is associated with worse clinical outcome and function.
次要结局
- Presence of bone abnormality(Day 1)
- Maximum tendon thickness measurements (capitellar - radiocapitellar)(Day 1)
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS)(All patients were evaluated for one time.)
- Hand Grip Strength(Day 1)
- Pain Sensitivity(Day 1)
