Of 1213 clinical cases of lateral tennis elbow, 88 elbows in 82 patients had operative treatment. The lesion was consistently identified at surgery as immature fibroblastic and vascular infiltration of the origin of the extensor carpi radialis brevis. A specific surgical technique was employed, including exposure of the extensor carpi radialis brevis, excision of the identified lesion and repair. The results at follow-up were excellent in 66 elbows, good in 9, fair in 11 and failed in 2. There was an over all improvement rate of 97.7% and 85.2% of the patients returned to full activity including rigorous sports.
