The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of a standardised fenestration technique, the Instant Tennis Elbow Cure (ITEC) technique, with injection of betamethasone versus autologous blood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: A prospective comparative study was performed. Twenty-eight patients received an infiltration with 1 mL betamethasone, in combination with 1 mL 2% lidocaine. Twenty-eight patients received an infiltration with 2 mL autologous blood. Both infiltrations were administered using the ITEC-technique. The patients were evaluated at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) and Nirschl staging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: At the 6-week follow-up, the corticosteroid group showed significantly better results for VAS. At the 3-month follow-up, no significant differences were observed for all three scores. At the 6-monthfollow-up, the autologous blood group showed significantly better results for all three scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: Standardised fenestration using the ITEC-technique with corticosteroid infiltration is more effective in reducing pain at the 6-week follow-up. At the 6-month follow-up, the use of autologous blood is more effective in pain reduction and functional recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Level of Evidence: Level II<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s2424835523500078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]],"date-time":"2023-02-21T04:03:04Z","timestamp":1676952184000},"page":"45-52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Standardised Tendon Fenestration with ITEC-Technique for Lateral Epicondylosis with Injection of Betamethasone versus Autologous Blood"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Carl","family":"DIERICKX","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jessa Ziekenhuis, Hasselt, Belgium"},{"name":"University of Hasselt, Hasselt, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chul Ki","family":"GOORENS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regionaal Ziekenhuis, Tienen, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"BELLEMANS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Hasselt, Hasselt, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elise","family":"GOOSSENS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Hasselt, Hasselt, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xante","family":"MENTENS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Hasselt, Hasselt, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jolien","family":"PAULUSSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Hasselt, Hasselt, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"S2424835523500078BIB001","first-page":"31","volume":"3","author":"Naveen P","year":"2017","journal-title":"Indian J Orthop Surg"},{"key":"S2424835523500078BIB002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.2147\/OAJSM.S160974","volume":"9","author":"Lai WC","year":"2018","journal-title":"Open Access J Sports Med"},{"issue":"3","key":"S2424835523500078BIB003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1177\/230949901402200313","volume":"22","author":"Arik HO","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Orthop Surg"},{"issue":"8","key":"S2424835523500078BIB004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"660","DOI":"10.1097\/PHM.0b013e3181ddcb31","volume":"89","author":"Kazemi M","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am J Phys Med Rehabil"},{"issue":"8","key":"S2424835523500078BIB005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"780","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2016.02.008","volume":"8","author":"Qian X","year":"2016","journal-title":"PM R"},{"key":"S2424835523500078BIB007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ptsp.2015.06.002","volume":"18","author":"Chou L-C","year":"2015","journal-title":"Phys Ther Sport"},{"issue":"4","key":"S2424835523500078BIB008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"397","DOI":"10.1002\/pmrj.12287","volume":"12","author":"Tang S","year":"2020","journal-title":"PM R"},{"issue":"2","key":"S2424835523500078BIB009","first-page":"97","volume":"45","author":"Mi B","year":"2017","journal-title":"Phys Sportsmed"},{"key":"S2424835523500078BIB010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193416641590"},{"key":"S2424835523500078BIB011","volume-title":"Interactive Training in Applied GCP for Investigators & Site Personnel.
