Consecutive patients were evaluated after undergoing debridement and suture anchor repair of the flexor-pronator mass for the treatment of medial epicondylitis. Demographic variables, a short version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) score, Oxford Elbow Score (OES), and 10-point pain and satisfaction scales were collected. Ability and time to return to sport after surgery were evaluated, and the relationship between predictor variables and both elbow function and return to sport was investigated. Median age at the time of surgery was 55 years (range, 29\u201365 years), with median follow-up of 40 months (range, 12\u201367 months). Median QuickDASH score and OES at final follow-up were 2.3 (range, 0\u201338.6) and 45 (range, 22\u201348), respectively. Most patients returned to premorbid sporting activities at a median of 4.5 months (range, 2.5\u201312 months), whereas 4 patients (14%) reported significant limitations at final follow-up. Older age at the time of surgery was predictive of better QuickDASH score and OES (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =.05 and\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =.02, respectively). Patients who underwent surgery after a shorter duration of symptoms had better outcomes, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (QuickDASH,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =.09; OES,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =.10). Surgical treatment of recalcitrant medial epicondylitis with suture anchor fixation offers good pain relief and patient satisfaction, with little residual disability. Older age at the time of surgery predicts a better outcome.
