What is the role of surgery when treating an overuse tendinitis?
By overuse tendinitis, I really mean tendinitis, not tendinosis.
{1} indicates that the role of surgery when treating an overuse tendinitis is unknown, but the paper was published over 15 years ago.
I am mostly interested in epicondylopathies (medial or lateral, i.e., tennis elbows and golfer elbows)
