Background: Injection therapy with glucocorticoids has been used since the 1950s as a treatment strategy for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Lately, several novel injection therapies have become available. Purpose: To assess the comparative effectiveness and safety of injection therapies in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Randomized controlled trials comparing different injection therapies for lateral epicondylitis were…

Corticosteroid injections failed to demonstrate long-lasting significant clinical effects in chronic LE, however, PRP and ABI were shown to have a progressive and increasing effect from 6 months to one year following the injections.

Neither injection of PRP nor glucocorticoid was superior to saline with regard to pain reduction in LE at the primary end point at 3 months, and neither had a short-term pain-reducing effect at 1 month in contrast to the other therapies.

The existing evidence on corticosteroid injections for the treatment of tennis elbow is not conclusive, but the treatment seems to be suitable for application in general practice, further trials in this setting are needed.

A corticosteroid injection does not provide a clinically significant improvement in the outcome of LE, and rehabilitation should be the first line of treatment in patients with a short duration of symptoms, and outcome measurements in both groups improved significantly over time.
