Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is tendinosis (or more precisely enthesopathy) of the medial common flexor tendon on the inside of the elbow. [1] It is similar to tennis elbow , which affects the outside of the elbow at the lateral epicondyle.
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis is an enthesopathy (attachment point disease) of the origin of the extensor carpi radialis brevis on the lateral epicondyle. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] It causes pain and tenderness over the bony part of the lateral epicondyle .
CPT coding is similar to ICD-10-CM coding, except that it identifies the services rendered, rather than the diagnosis on the claim. Whilst the ICD-10-PCS codes also contains procedure codes, those are only used in the inpatient setting. [5]
A 2010 review concluded moderate evidence exists to support the use of prolotherapy injections in the management of pain in lateral epicondylitis, and that prolotherapy was no more effective than eccentric exercise in the treatment of Achilles tendinopathy. [10] A 2016 review found a trend towards benefit in 2016 for lateral epicondylitis. [11]
Epicondylitis is the inflammation of an epicondyle or of adjacent tissues. [1] Epicondyles are on the medial and lateral aspects of the elbow, consisting of the two bony prominences at the distal end of the humerus .
Enthesopathy can occur at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, carpus, hip, knee, ankle, tarsus, or heel bone, among other regions. Enthesopathies may take the form of spondyloarthropathies (joint diseases of the spine) such as ankylosing spondylitis , or psoriatic arthritis , plantar fasciitis , and Achilles tendinitis .
A 2018 systematic review and meta-analysis of high quality studies found that PRP was beneficial for treatment of lateral epicondylitis. [19] Numerous reviews and meta-analyses have found that for elbow tendinopathy, PRP is superior to cortisone injections.
