Abstract

Objectives: This case study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture in lateral epicondylitis. Methods: A 42-year-old male patient presented with lateral epicondylitis of the right arm of 4 months’ duration. Sonographic findings were tearing of the common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle. The patient was treated with ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture and acupuncture for 9 weeks. The numeric rating scale (NRS) and patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation(PRTEE) were used to assess pain, function and progression. Ultrasound images were compared every 2 weeks. Results: After treatments, NRS and PRTEE were reduced from 7 to 1 and from 106 to 22, respectively. And improvement was observed in the torn region of the common extensor tendon on ultrasound imaging. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture could improve lateral epicondylitis and tear with minimally invasive methods.
