“…Other structures such as the annular ligament and lateral capsule also might be causative factors of lateral epicondylitis. Baker et al [2] described an arthroscopic technique to release the ECRB origin and reported 95% being ''much better'' or ''better'' elbow function than preoperative status at followup. Mullett et al [23] introduced arthroscopic resection of a capsulosynovial fold of the leading edge of the annular ligament with the common extensor origin left undisturbed and reported 93% complete relief of symptoms (Table 4).…”

Background Arthroscopic treatments for lateral epicondylitis including débridement of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) origin (Baker technique) or resection of the radiocapitellar synovial plica reportedly improve symptoms. However the etiology of the disease and the role of the plica remain unclear. Results Two years postoperatively, we found no differences in the VAS pain score or DASH: the mean VAS pain scores were 0.3 points in Group A and 0.4 points in Group B, and the DASH scores were 5.1 points and 6.1 points respectively. Conclusions The addition of débridement of the posterior synovial fold did not appear to enhance either pain relief or function compared with the classic Baker technique without decortication. Level of Evidence Level III, therapeutic study. See the guidelines for authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

“…Baker et al [1,2] reported patients treated by arthroscopic débridement had 77% ''much better'', and 20% ''better'' elbow function than their preoperative status and 87% patient satisfaction. Regardless of surgical treatment option, the reported failure rates range from 5% to 17% [2-6, 8, 11, 20, 25, 26].…”

“…Other indications include treatment for OCD (14)(15)(16), fracture (17,18), lateral epicondylytis (19,20), instability (21), septic arthritis (22), and synovectomy (17,22). The most rewarding and successful indication for elbow arthroscopy is the removal of loose bodies, either posttraumatic or idiopathic, with or without associated limitations in joint range of motion (2,5,6).…”

“…This pathology was defined as an angiofibroblastic degeneration in response to partial lesions of the common tendon of wrist extensors (Kraushaar & Nirschl, 1999) which are created by repeated microtraumas (Nirschl, 1973;Nirschl, 1992). In the most extreme cases, complete rupture of the tendon may occur and surgical intervention is required (Baker, Murphy, Gottlob, & Curd, 2000).…”

Previous studies suggested that a pronounced weakness of the extensor muscles relative to the flexor muscles could increase the risk of occurrence of lateral epicondylalgia. This study investigates this hypothesis by estimating the ratio of extensor to flexor muscle capacities among healthy non-players (n = 10), healthy tennis players (n = 20), symptomatic players (n = 6), and players who have recovered from lateral epicondylalgia (n = 6). Maximum net joint moments in flexion or extension were measured during seven tasks involving the voluntary contraction of wrist and fingers. Using these data, the muscle capacities of the main muscle groups of the hand (wrist flexors, wrist extensors, finger flexors, finger extensors, and intrinsic muscles) were estimated using a musculoskeletal model. These capacities were then used to compute the extensor/flexor capacity ratios about the wrist and the finger joints. Compared to healthy nonplayers, healthy players presented higher extensor muscle capacities and greater capacity ratios showing that playing tennis generates specific adaptations of muscle capacities. Interestingly, symptomatic players, similar to those of non-players, showed more imbalanced ratios than healthy players. These results confirm that the ratio of extensor/flexor muscle capacities seems to be associated with lateral epicondylalgia and can be further used to understand its incidence and consequences.
