"Have Your Tennis Elbow Surgery On Friday and Be Back To Work On Monday."
Would you like to alleviate your tennis elbow pain without having to endure an expensive, painful operation and a lengthy recovery period?
In response to patient demand for a less invasive, office-based procedure, Lakeland orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian Jurbala developed the TenotomeTM Tennis Elbow Release system. It uses high-resolution ultrasound guidance to locate the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis – ECRB – tendon, which is the muscle tendon unit believed to be responsible for the pain. Using a specially designed knife to make a small incision in the fascia surrounding the ECRB muscle, Dr. Jurbala lengthens the muscle tendon unit, which releases the tension off its insertion point in the bone and relieves the pain over the lateral elbow.
The whole procedure is done through a half-inch to three-quarter-inch incision, and there are no painful stitches to remove later.
It can be done in the office in 10 minutes the day of your first visit, in cases where you have previously been diagnosed and undergone other conservative treatments.
There is no restrictive splint that must be worn, no expensive formal therapy, and you can return to light activities – including driving – the same day.

A Less Costly Procedure. A Better Treatment
Having the TenotomeTM Tennis Elbow Release procedure eliminates the costs associated with the conventional surgical correction method, such as:
- Anesthesia Fees
- Facility fees for the hospital or surgical center
- Medical clearance fees and testing for surgery
How does this compare to other treatments?
The TenoTomeTM procedure is minimally invasive and can be accomplished in one office visit if you have already been diagnosed and have undergon a trial of conservative treatment. In many if not most cases no additional therapy is needed. In most cases the cost of the office based procedure is covered by your insurance and usually costs thousands less than having surgery done in a hospital or surgery center by eliminating costly facility and anesthesia fees.
PRP or Platlet Rich Plasma Injections have been used as an office based minimally invasive treatment for Tennis Elbow. PRP costs as much as 1000 to 1500 dollars per injection and is generally not covered by insurance. It often requires more than one injection and 4 to 6 weeks of costly formal physical therapy to achieve an optimal result.
Open Tennis Elbow Repair: The tradional open procedure generally requires a large open incision, and is performed in a surgical center or hospital (and because of this is many hundreds to thousands of dollars more expensive than the TenotomeTM procedure). There is usually a period of immobilization with a splint and recovery time can be up to 3 to 6 months after the procedure.
