Corticosteroid and platelet-rich plasma injection therapy in tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia): a survey of current UK specialist practice and a call for clinical guidelines

Abstract

Background Tennis elbow is a common condition with a variety of treatment options, but little is known about which of these options specialists choose most commonly.
