Tennis elbow is not exclusive to tennis players, as it's also seen in manual laborers who use their arms and wrists frequently at work. The prevalence ranges between 3-29%, and mostly seen among 40-60 years of age. At a 2 years follow up, the recurrence rates were as high as 54%. While there are different non-operative and operative management options available, this article by Lucado et al (2022) looks in detail into the latest available evidence to assemble a comprehensive set of guidelines for the assessment and non-surgical and non-pharmacological management of Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy.

BESS Launches New Guidelines for Patients with Tennis Elbow If you have been diagnosed with tennis elbow, the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS) has released a helpful video with information and exercises to help you manage your condition more effectively and support your recovery. Developed by BESS physiotherapists, it includes simple-to-follow exercises that you can do at home to relieve the pain of tennis elbow and strengthen the tendons around the joint. By following the advice and exercises, symptoms should improve, although the precise length of time it takes to recover depends on factors such as how long you’ve had the condition and your general state of health. If symptoms fail to improve within 6-12 weeks or if the pain in your elbow worsens, it’s important to talk to your doctor or orthopaedic consultant.

What are the most common knee injuries among skiers and snowboarders? Who is most at risk and what should you do in terms of first line treatment? Specialising in knee injuries at The Princess Grace Hospital, we asked Mr Mazin Ibrahim, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon for his advice on winter sports. Mr Ibrahim sees many patients who have returned from snow sport holidays with knee injuries. In this article, he shares information on mild and more serious injuries, as well as when you should see a specialist on you return. https://lnkd.in/ecGxkTVj #HCAUK #KneeInjury #OrthopaedicSurgeon #SkiingAdvice

🧠 Most ACLers experience something like this... They get the news they just tore their ACL. A doctors visit is scheduled so they can plan a surgery date. They have their surgery and the doctor gives them a referral for physical therapy. They are recommended to go the a physical therapy clinic that is associated with the hospital, or a big box clinic. They arrive at physical therapy and notice right away that their therapist is always busy with multiple patients at once, or they see them for a few minutes only to be passed off to a rehab tech to babysit them doing the same exercises they have been doing for weeks. ⁠ ❌ There are many problems with this experience, but the main one is not once was the ACLer asked what they personally need in their recovery, or what they hope to accomplish as an end goal. ⁠❌ Even worse! The ACLer was never given alternate options for their rehab. There is no discussion on the benefits of certain types of rehab compared to others. How their rehab/recovery experience changes the success rate of their recovery. We live in a world where healthcare systems want to keep you in their bubble without educating you on your choices outside of them. They know if they do not educate you on your options you will never realize whether the care they are providing you is good, or not. And so... we see stats like this where only half of ACLers actually return to their goals with normal function.
