In a series of 1,000 patients with tennis elbow or medial or lateral epicondylitis, adequate follow-up was obtained on 339 patients. Of these, 278 responded to conservative therapy and 39 were operated on. Tears of the extensor or flexor tendon were seen in 28 patients. Resection of the torn or scarred portion of the tendon and suture, if feasible, gave generally satisfactory results.
