Clinical research progress and prospect of acupotomy for lateral epicondylitis
Acupotomy is different from traditional surgical treatment and acupuncture, but organically integrates the features of both therapies. Acupotomy is a minimally invasive treatment, which has the advantages of no irreversible damage to human tissues, no need for wound suturing, simple operation, short treatment duration, low incidence of infection, good efficacy, low cost, and high patient acceptance. Acupotomy has gradually become one of the important methods for clinical treatment of lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). The etiology and pathogenesis of lateral epicondylitis, the mechanism of acupotomy treatment of lateral epicondylitis, as well as the application, summary and prospect of acupotomy in the clinical treatment of lateral epicondylitis are reviewed in this article.
