Abstract

In 37 of 43 cases (86%) the late results of fasciotomy for chronic lateral epicondylitis were excellent or good. The initial result was maintained for an average of 8.0 years. The procedure is simple and morbidity is minimal. Patient selection and technical factors appeared to account for the failures.
