The CSES recently completed a Systematic Review and Position Statement on lateral epicondylitis. There is ongoing controversy regarding the non-operative treatment of lateral epicondylitis. All English-language randomized trials comparing non-operative treatment of patient > 18 years of age with lateral epicondylitis were included. The available evidence does not support the use of non-operative treatment options including corticosteroids, PRP, or AB in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
