How to treat tennis elbow with surgery?
1 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tennis elbow: Tennis elbow surgery can be performed with an arthroscope, open or with a device that is inserted just beneath the skin (endoscopic). It really depends on the training of your surgeon and how comfortable they are with the techniques. Arthroscopic surgery can see other causes of elbow pain that resemble tennis elbow such as extra tissue called a plica.

Tennis elbow surgery: Surgery can be performed with an open incision, arthroscopically or percutaneously. All of these allow the surgeon to remove the damaged tissue that is the source of the pain. Arthroscopy allows you to look around the elbow and check for additional problems like arthritis or loose cartilage.
