Clinical observation on external humeral epicondylitis treated with back-rotation traction

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of manipulation on external humeral epicondylitis,and to explore the functional mechanism and ideal treatment. Methods: Eighty-six patients who had been treated with acupuncture,obturation and needle-knife were divided into routine group and treatment group randomly. In routine group, there were 42 cases(male 13,female 29,means 40.8 years);and in treatment group there were 44 cases(male 16,female 28,means 41.2 years). There's no further treatment for the routine group after the therapy above,while the treatment group was added with back-rotation traction manipulation. Results: Taking Verhaar therapy effect appraisal system of tennis-ball elbow to evaluate elbow function. After 7 days of therapy,the results were excellent in 13 cases,good in 16,fair in 4,poor in 9 in the routine group;and excellent in 38,good in 4 and fair in 2 in treatment group;and the effect in the treatment group were better than that of the routine group(P<0.010). Half a year later,in the routine group 38 cases recurrenced and in the treatment group 10 cases recurrenced.
