Summary
It has been reported a patient, male 39 y.o., came with the
chief complaint “nyeri pada siku kanan”. Pain on the right
elbow felt since a month ago. , after chopping tree with high
effort. The pain increased when he lifted things with his
right arm. also when he wanted to fully straighten or bend
his elbow or gas the motorcycle pedal. He still could do his
daily activities, but disturbed by the pain.

19
From the physical examination was found slight decrease
of MMT (5-) on Right elbow supination-pronation, wrist
extension, and finger MCP extension because pain. Tender
point at right lateral epicondyle and Chair, Mill,and
Thomson test positive at the right elbow.
The diagnose is Right Epicondylitis Lateralis.
No planning diagnostic.
The planning therapy is USD at right epicondyle, planning
monitoring with clinical signs and symptoms. The planning
education is warm water compress, ROM & stretching
exercises at home, and temporarily avoid lifting heavy
objects with the right hand.

Any Question
???

21
Background

• The condition commonly called “Tennis Elbow” is


probably the most frequent sport-related elbow complain
although it also occurs in non-athletes
• It is more frequently seen in computer use, heavy lifting,
forceful forearm pronation and supination.
• Men and women with equal frequency

22
Pathophysiology

• Inflammation reaction within the tendon origin and


progresses to microtear of the fibers of the tendon that
heal through fibrosis and than occur tissue failure

• Most commonly involve the origin of the Extensor Carpi


Radialis Brevis (ECRB)

23
• Less commonly involves the origin of
the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus
(ECRL) Extensor Digitorum Communis
(EDC) or Extensor Carpi Ulnaris

24
Anatomi :

25
Causative factors

• A very common overuse condition caused by repeated


minor trauma that strain the wrist extensors musculature
at the lateral epicondyle

26
The clinical presentation

• Tenderness just distal to the lateral epicondyle at the


extensors origin.

• Pain and weakness in grip strength

• The diagnosis is made by resisting the patient’s wrist


extension and radial deviation with the elbow fully
extended. Pain and tenderness are felt at the lateral
epicondyle.

27
Treatment
I. Conservative
1. Immobilization –
* Resting the involved extremity and avoiding
activities that produce symptoms (computer
work, gripping with palm down, sports).
* functional wrist bracing; forearm brace.

2. Modality therapy :
- Acute stage : Cold therapy
- Chronic stage : Ultra sound diathermy , TENS

3. Medication :
NSAIDs oral , Corticosteroid Injected

28
4. Therapeutic exercise
• emphasize for the restoration of function of the involved
muscle group with improvement Flexibility, strength, and
endurance of the wrist extensor muscle group.
• ROM for wrist flexion/extension and pronation/supination
• Strength and grip training

29
4. Therapeutic exercise

30
II. Surgical intervention
Generally reserved for chronic conditions that are
unresponsive to conservative management and are
associated with significant limitation in functional performance
