We compared pain relief, function between the 2 treatment options, and identified whether PRP injection reduced the incidence of lateral epicondylar surgery. Studies must have compared PRP injections with lateral epicondylar surgery for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis; be of Level I, II, or III evidence; and be written in the English language.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three studies (1 Level II and 2 Level III) met inclusion criteria.
