Tennis Elbow

One of the areas of expertise of Op. Dr. Hilmi Karadeniz, tennis elbow is a condition frequently seen in athletes that can make daily life difficult. Known medically as "lateral epicondylitis", tennis elbow usually develops as a result of overuse or incorrect use. It particularly affects athletes, manual workers and homemakers whose activities strain the wrist and elbow joints. Op. Dr. Hilmi Karadeniz plays an important role in treating this condition.

Tennis elbow usually arises from inflammation and overloading of the tendons around the elbow. In sports such as tennis, frequently repeated movements, particularly when using a racket, can trigger the condition. However, it is not seen only in tennis players. People who lift heavy loads with an awkward movement, those who constantly have to work with their hands, and even people who spend long hours at a computer can suffer from it.

Op. Dr. Hilmi Karadeniz uses various methods in the treatment of tennis elbow. In the early stages, treatment is usually conservative. This includes physiotherapy, rest, cold compresses and anti-inflammatory medication. In some cases, however, the condition may become more severe, and more advanced treatment options may then be considered. Op. Dr. Hilmi Karadeniz decides on the right treatment approach by taking each patient's condition into account.

In advanced cases in particular, surgery may be required. The procedure involves repairing or removing the damaged tendon tissue. After surgery, patients usually need to rest for a few weeks and undergo physiotherapy. Op. Dr. Hilmi Karadeniz also provides expertise for cases that require surgical treatment.
