COOMBES, PhD1,2 • LEANNE BISSET, PhD3 • BILL VICENZINO, PhD2  \nManagement of Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy: One Size Does Not Fit All  \nPain over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus during  \nloading of the wrist extensor muscles is a common mus  \nculoskeletal presentation in men and women between  \n35 and 54 years of age.43 The above symptom is associated with a clinical diagnosis of lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET), also known as tennis elbow or lateral epicondylalgia. Lateral elbow tendinopathy affects approximately 1% to 3% of the general  \npopulation,43,99,116 with individuals who smoke,99 manual workers,63 and tennis players41 being at increased risk. Lateral elbow tendinopathy results in significant functional disability from work, sports, and leisure activities, and high costs due to productivity loss and health care use.99  \nThere is a lack of consensus on the best treatment approach for LET, resulting in frustration for patients and practi-  \ntioners alike.64,101 Complexities associated with the anatomy, biomechanics, and pathophysiology of LET have resulted in numerous treatment options described in the literature. One of the challenges in managing LET is the wide range of prognoses among individuals with the condition. For many patients, symptoms of LET are self-limiting, with randomized controlled trials indicating that 83%  \nt SYNOPSIS: Clear guidelines for the clinical management of individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) are hampered by many proposed interventions and the condition’s prognosis, ranging from immediate resolution of symptoms following simple advice in some patients to long-lasting problems, regardless of treatment, in others. This is compounded by our lack of understanding of the complexity of the underlying pathophysiology of LET. In this article, we collate evidence and expert opinion on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and differential diagnosis of LET. Factors that might provide prognostic value or direction for physical rehabilitation, such as the presence of neck pain, tendon tears, or central sensitization,  \nare canvassed. Clinical recommendations for physical rehabilitation are provided, including the prescription of exercise and adjunctive physical therapy and pharmacotherapy. A preliminary algorithm, including targeted interventions, for the management of subgroups of patients with LET based on identified prognostic factors is proposed. Further research is needed to evaluate whether such an approach may lead to improved outcomesand more efficient resource allocation. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2015;45(11):938-949. Epub 17 Sep 2015. doi:10.2519/jospt.2015.5841  \nt KEY WORDS: epicondylalgia, prognosis, tennis elbow  \nto 90% of patients assigned to await-and-see approach reported significant improvement, although not always complete resolution, in the condition within a  \nyear.11,102 However, up to a third of patients have prolonged discomfort lasting in excess of 1 year despite interventions, and a considerable proportion of patients experience recurrence of their symptoms following the initial episode.9,14,50 Estimates suggest that up to 5% of patients do not respond to conservative physical interventions and undergo surgery, with variable outcomes reported in the literature.55,61  \nIn this clinical commentary, we collate existing knowledge of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and differential diagnosis of LET. We propose that applying a single intervention, or a one-size-fits-all approach, to all presentations of LET is unlikely to be effective in every case. Instead, interventions should be tailored to the pathology and clinical presentation of the condition. To this end, we highlight 6 factors that may provide direction for physical rehabilitation. Finally, a preliminary algorithm for management of subgroups of patients with LET is proposed as a clinical decision-making guide, though it will require further refinement and validation.  \n1The Unive","cbCailzZ1mwcB6dH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailzZ1mwcB6dH","pdf",2532128,12,"English","# Synopsis\n# Clinical Rationale and Prognosis\n# Proposed Management Approach\n## Tailoring Interventions by Prognostic Factors\n## Preliminary Algorithm for Subgroups\n# Pathophysiology\n## Multidimensional Model\n## Clinical Severity vs Tendon Pathology\n# Histological Features","[{\"question\":\"What is lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) and what symptoms does it cause?\",\"answer\":\"LET is characterized by pain over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus during loading of the wrist extensor muscles.
