Keywords:
VAS, local anesthetic injection, Steroid injection for the treatment of lateral epicondylitisAbstract
Introduction: Lateral epicondylitis is a common cause of pain in the lateral side of elbow. It affects 1% to 3% of adults in general population per year.' it is common in dominant arm, tennis players and in workers who are involved in repetitive gripping and heavy lifting tasks because of repeated micro trauma to extensor tendons origin from lateral epicondyle. Objective: To compare the outcome of local steroid injection and local anesthetic injection after 2 weeks in management of lateral epicondylitis. Setting: Department of orthopedics, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Study design: Randomized clinical trial. Study Duration: 21st September 2020 to 21st March 2021. Methodology: A total of 60 patients were included in study (30 in each group). All patients were observed to compare the outcome of local steroid injection and local anesthetic injection after 2 weeks in management of lateral epicondylitis. Results: Distribution of Age among groups of 60 (30 in each group) were analyzed. Most of the patients between the age category (31-40 years) group A (steroid injection) was 9(42.9%) and group B 12(57.1%). Mean age was 41.56 ±3.357. There were 16(50.0%) male & 14(50%) female in group A. In group B, there were 16 (50.0%) male &14(50% female.
