Tennis Elbow Surgery

Using the techniques developed by Dr. Mark Pruzansky at PHASTI, resistant cases of lateral epicondylitis have been treated with great success. Through a small incision, the diseased tissue is not only excised, but the extensor tendon is actually reattached to the bone, directly or with a graft.

These types of repairs are preferrable because they more closely reproduce normal anatomy. In addition, arthroscopic repair is available for routine cases. For more information click here.
