Rehabilitation Protocol Lateral Epicondyle Debridement and Extensor Repair Phase I: Early ROM & Protect Repair (0 to 2 weeks) • Operative Splint to be removed on Post-op day 2. • Universal wrist splint to be placed once operative splint removed and worn at all times other than when performing exercises
The intent of this protocol is to provide the clinician with a guideline of the post-operative rehabilitation course of a patient that has undergone lateral epicondyle debridement.
1 lut 2019 · We describe a technique for debridement and repair of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus using a knotless suture anchor, allowing for a watertight anatomic repair, maximum preservation of grip strength, and absence of a knot stack and resultant suture prominence.
Rehabilitation Guidelines For Lateral Epicondyler Debridements And Repairs Of The Elbow. Lateral epicondylalgia (LE), more commonly known as tennis elbow, is the most common musculoskeletal pain condition affecting the elbow. It causes significant pain, disability and lost productivity.
This guideline is intended to assist clinicians and patients through the non-operative course of care for Medial and Lateral Epicondylitis/Epicondylalgia. This protocol is time based (dependent upon tissue healing) as well as criterion based (dependent upon patient tolerance).
