Value of Ultrasonography on Diagnosis and Assessment of Pain and Grip Strength in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis
Öz: Amaç: Lateral epikondilit (LE) esasen klinik olarak tanınır. Ultrasonografi (US) LE'nin şiddeti, boyutu ve yerleşimi hakkında yararlı bilgi sağlayabilir. Amaç, LE'nin doğrulanması için US'nin kullanılması ve bu hastalarda ağrı, kavrama gücü, fizik bakı ve engellilik arasındaki ilişkileri incelemekti.Yöntem ve Gereçler: Unilateral LE'li 52 hasta US ile incelendi. Ağrı ve fonksiyonel durum görsel analog ölçütü, Yaşam Kalitesi Short Form-36 (SF-36), patient-rated forearm evaluation questionnaire (PRFEQ) kullanılarak belirlendi. Kavrama gücü ve LE için manüel testler değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Hastaların 28'inde (%53.8) LE'nin klinik tanısı US ile doğrulandı. Sonuçlarımız sonografisi anormal hastalarda, klinik muayene bulgularıyla SF-36 ve PRFEQ ağrı değerlendirmeleri arasında yakın ilişkiyi gösterdi. Bu hastalarda kavrama gücüyle de klinik ve fonksiyonel değerlendirmeler arasında karşılıklı ilişki vardı.Sonuç: LE'de engellilik değerlendirmesinde geleneksel klinik muayeneden başka yöntemlere ihtiyaç olduğu kanısına vardık. LE'nin sonografik bulguları olan hastalarda, ağrı ve kavrama gücü ölçümleri şiddet ve engelliğin değerlendirilmesinde sayısal ve nicel bilgi verir.

Lateral Epikondilitli Hastalarda Ultrasonografinin Tanı ve Ağrı ve Kavrama Gücü Değerlendirmesinde Önemi
Öz: Objective: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is generally diagnosed clinically. Ultrasonography (US) can provide useful information about the location, extent, and severity of LE. Our objective was to use US to confirm LE and to investigate the relationships between pain, grip strength, physical examination, and disability in these patients.Material and Methods: Fifty-two patients with unilateral LE were examined by US. Pain and functional status were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), physical functioning and bodily pain scales of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and a patient-rated forearm evaluation questionnaire (PRFEQ). Grip strength and manual tests for LE were evaluated.Results: Clinical diagnosis of LE was confirmed by US in 28 (53.8%) patients. Our results showed close associations between clinical examination findings and SF-36 and PRFEQ assessments with pain in patients who had sonographic abnormalities. Grip strength was also correlated with clinical and functional evaluations in these cases. Conclusion: We concluded that evaluation of disability in LE requires methods different from those included in the traditional clinical examination. Pain and grip strength measurements provide numerical and quantitative data for evaluation of severity and disability in patients with sonographic findings of LE.
