[Epicondylitis humeri lateralis, operative technique and results (author's transl)]. 1981

R Gradinger, and C Feldmeier, and W Bracker, and K Wilhelm

Epicondylitis humeri lateralis is caused by excessive strain on the extensors of the forearm. Chronic inflammation of the epicondylus humeri lateralis and irritation of sensitive fibres of the radial nerve result. The pain can be eliminated by Hohmann's operation on the epicondylus humeri lateralis, with complete separation of the forearm extensor roots. Additional denervation of the epicondylus humeri lateralis (A. Wilhelm's method) eliminates the pain sensations due to the disease by interrupting the sensitive nerve fibres of the N. radialis. These two operations are complementary and a combination of both increases the success rate to 90%.

D011826 Radial Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans the fibers of the radial nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C5 to T1), travel via the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and supply motor innervation to extensor muscles of the arm and cutaneous sensory fibers to extensor regions of the arm and hand.
