COMPARISON BETWEEN STEROID AND PRP INJECTIONS IN MEDIAL EPICONDYLITIS (GOLFER’S ELBOW) PATIENTS

Background: Golfer's elbow, commonly known as medial epicondylitis, is an overuse syndrome caused by an eccentric overload of flexor-pronator mass on the medial epicondyle. This is produced by repetitive actions causing micro-trauma to insert the flexor-pronator mass, which affects the pronator teres more than the flexor carpi radialis. This study evaluates the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma and...
