Management of Tennis elbow in racket sports – a literature review

Abstract

Antecedentes: El dolor en la parte lateral del codo es un síntoma común en los deportes de raqueta, tanto en jugadores recreacionales como de competición. En el codo de tenista (CT), el dolor se produce en el epicóndilo lateral y en el origen del extensor común justo distal al epicóndilo. Los síntomas se agravan con actividades de agarre y pueden estar relacionados con el nivel de actividad, ya sea en el trabajo o en los deportes de raqueta recreacionales o de élite. Se considera que el CT es una lesión por sobreuso de naturaleza degenerativa y el diagnóstico se realiza fácilmente basado en la historia y los hallazgos clínicos. Objetivo: Presentar el conocimiento actual sobre el tratamiento del CT en los deportes de raqueta a través de una revisión de la literatura. Métodos: Revisión de la literatura narrativa. Resultados: Un resumen del CT en los deportes de raqueta con énfasis en las características clínicas, los diagnósticos alternativos y los tratamientos sugeridos en la literatura. Dado que el CT se considera una lesión por sobreuso, el artículo también hace sugerencias para un plan de entrenamiento adicional al tratamiento hasta que se resuelvan los síntomas. Conclusiones: Esta condición dolorosa es autolimitada y tiene un buen pronóstico. No hay tratamiento con evidencia determinante, además de los métodos para reducir los síntomas de dolor. Cuando los síntomas de dolor están bajo control, es importante que el regreso a los deportes de raqueta sea gradual.

Background: Pain from the lateral aspect of the elbow is a common symptom in racket sports, both in recreational and competitive players. In Tennis elbow (TE), the pain is elicited from the lateral epicondyle and the common extensor origin just distal of the epicondyle. The symptoms are aggravated by gripping activity and might be related to activity level, in work as well as in recreational or elite racket sports. TE is considered to be an overuse injury of degenerative nature and the diagnose is easily made, based on a typical history and clinical findings. Objective: To present current knowledge concerning management of TE in racket sports by a review of the literature. Methods: Narrative literature review. Results: An overview of TE in racket sports with highlight on the clinical features, alternative diagnoses and suggested treatments in the literature. Since TE is considered to be an overuse injury, the paper advice for management and training until resolution of symptoms. Conclusions: This painful condition is self-limiting with a good prognosis. No treatment has been convincingly successful, besides methods for reducing pain symptoms. When the pain symptoms are under control, it is important that the return to racket sports is gradual.
