Nerve Stimulator-guided radial nerve block at elbow: New approach for the treatment of tennis elbow

Lateral epicondylitis, or “tennis elbow,” is a symptomatic chronic degeneration of the wrist extensor tendons that involves their attachment to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Analgesic, percutaneous, and arthroscopic surgery techniques have been used with no significant difference in the outcome. We report four cases of patients suffering from lateral epicondylitis who received nerve stimulator-guided radial nerve block for pain management. The patients had substantial and extended reduction of pain.
