Surgery for Tennis Elbow

Surgery Overview

Surgery for tennis elbow may involve:

  • Cutting (releasing) the tendon.
  • Removing inflamed tissue from the tendon.
  • Repairing (reattaching) tendon tears if it can be done without over-tightening the tendon.

Surgery may be done using arthroscopy, traditional open surgery, or a combination of the two techniques. It depends on the type of problem and the method the doctor prefers to use.

Surgery can be done with general or regional anesthetic. It may require an overnight stay in the hospital.
