This study details the development of a new technique, termed fascial elevation and tendon origin resection (FETOR), which facilitates the complete visualization and resection of the CFPO with limited soft tissue dissection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To evaluate the outcomes of FETOR for the treatment of chronic recalcitrant medial epicondylitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Case series; Level of evidence, 4.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The electronic medical records of patients who underwent FETOR from January 2008 to July 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. Outcome assessments included the visual analog scale (VAS) for average pain, pain at rest, and pain experienced during hard work or heavy lifting; the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire; and pain-free grip strength. Preoperative and postoperative data were compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 22 elbows in 20 patients with a mean age of 48.8 years (range, 29-58 years) were included. At a mean follow-up of 35.6 months (range, 16-77 months), the VAS score decreased by 93% for average pain, 94% for pain at rest, and 83% for pain during hard work or heavy lifting ( P &lt; .001). The patients\u2019 perception of arm function as assessed using the DASH recovered to the level of the healthy population (from a mean of 51.6 \u00b1 18.0 to 8.0 \u00b1 11.1; P &lt; .001). The mean pain-free grip strength improved significantly from 53.7% \u00b1 30.3% to 97.3% \u00b1 19.8% of the uninvolved arm ( P &lt; .001). Eighteen (90%) patients were satisfied with the surgical outcomes, while 2 patients changed their jobs because of decreased elbow function.
