Abstract: Background:Previous meta-analyses have been conducted to compare outcomes of various treatment injections for lateral epicondylitis (LE), including corticosteroid injection (CSI) and autologous blood products such as autologous blood (AB) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).Purpose:To conduct a systematic review of overlapping meta-analyses comparing different injection treatments (CSI, AB, PRP) for LE to determine which meta-analyses provide the best available evidence.Study Design:Systematic review; Level of evid… Show more

“…Despite the heterogeneity of data, a seven-year retrospective study [250] and several meta-analyses, differing for inclusion criteria are available for evaluation the effectiveness of PRP in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis [251][252][253][254][255].…”

“…Lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is defined as a musculoskeletal pathology with pain in the lateral area of the elbow, pain on extension of the wrist, and reduced grip strength [1]. It is most prevalent among individuals aged 35-50 years and affects approximately 1 to 3% of the general population [1][2][3]. Forty percent of the population may be affected by this condition at some point in their lives [3], and the risk is the same in both sexes [4].…”

“…The most commonly used treatment for LE is rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, splints, physical therapy, injection therapy, and surgery, although none of these are universally effective [1,7]. A corticosteroid injection is the most used invasive therapy due to its low cost and easy application; however, its positive effects in reducing pain and increasing functionality are only short term [1].…”

“…(4) In ltrative therapies might be proposed in case of persistent symptoms. It has been well established that corticosteroids are e cient in the short-term but deleterious in the long-term (5,6) likely for degenerative purposes. (7) Prolotherapy, autologous blood or botulinic toxin injections, and others in ltrative therapies are less studied and are therefore not clearly supported by the current literature.…”
