A member asked:
My fiance needs surgery for tennis elbow and she would like to know which surgery is best open or arthroscopic and how long is normally the procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tennis Elbow: There is no benefit between open vs. Arthroscopic...It typically is the preference of the surgeon. This procedure itself should take between 45 min - 75 min.
