Epicondylar Release

Epicondylar release is a surgical procedure aimed at alleviating pain and improving function in the elbow, often related to conditions like tennis elbow or golfer's elbow. It involves releasing the tendons attached to the bony prominences on the inner or outer side of the elbow (epicondyles). By relieving tension in these tendons, the procedure helps reduce inflammation and allows for better movement, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic elbow pain. Recovery typically involves physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility.
