Łokieć tenisisty
Leczenie

Łokieć tenisisty (lateral epicondylitis) to zapalenie nadkłykcia bocznego kości ramiennej, wynikające z przeciążenia ścięgien mięśni przedramienia. Objawia się bólem i ograniczeniem funkcji kończyny górnej, a etiologia obejmuje mikrouszkodzenia ścięgien. W około 80-95% przypadków leczenie zachowawcze jest skuteczne i obejmuje odpoczynek, modyfikację aktywności, fizjoterapię (w tym ćwiczenia ekscentryczne wzmacniające i rozciągające mięśnie przedramienia), stosowanie NLPZ (np. ibuprofen, naproksen), okłady z lodu (15-20 minut kilka razy dziennie) oraz ortezy, takie jak opaska counterforce. Fizjoterapia może być wspomagana technikami manualnymi (ART, technika Graston, mobilizacja Mulligana), ultradźwiękami, terapią laserową i elektrostymulacją. W przypadku braku poprawy po 6-8 tygodniach rozważa się iniekcje kortykosteroidów, PRP, krwi autologicznej, proloterapię lub toksynę botulinową, a także zaawansowane metody jak terapia falą uderzeniową, fenestacja igłowa czy suche igłowanie.

Łokieć tenisisty – definicja i charakterystyka

Łokieć tenisisty, medycznie określany jako zapalenie nadkłykcia bocznego kości ramiennej (lateral epicondylitis), jest bolesnym schorzeniem, które powstaje w wyniku przeciążenia ścięgien łączących mięśnie przedramienia z bocznym nadkłykciem łokcia. Dochodzi do stanu zapalnego lub mikrouszkodzeń ścięgien, co prowadzi do bólu i ograniczenia funkcji kończyny górnej. Wbrew swojej nazwie, tylko około 5% przypadków łokcia tenisisty występuje u osób grających w tenisa. W rzeczywistości, problem ten może wystąpić u każdego, kto wykonuje powtarzalne ruchy łokcia, nadgarstka i dłoni w pracy, sporcie lub podczas codziennych czynności12.

Leczenie zachowawcze łokcia tenisisty

Większość przypadków łokcia tenisisty (około 80-95%) z powodzeniem leczy się metodami zachowawczymi bez konieczności interwencji chirurgicznej12. Leczenie zachowawcze jest zazwyczaj pierwszym wyborem i obejmuje szereg metod ukierunkowanych na zmniejszenie bólu, stanu zapalnego oraz przywrócenie prawidłowej funkcji ręki.

Odpoczynek i modyfikacja aktywności

Podstawowym elementem leczenia łokcia tenisisty jest odpowiedni odpoczynek. Pierwszym krokiem w procesie zdrowienia jest zaprzestanie lub ograniczenie aktywności, które wywołują lub nasilają objawy12. Należy pamiętać, że im dłużej kontynuuje się obciążające stawy czynności po wystąpieniu objawów, tym dłużej trwa rehabilitacja. Ta trwająca aktywność może powodować poważne uszkodzenie ścięgna i może z czasem wymagać leczenia operacyjnego1.

Modyfikacja aktywności to istotny element leczenia. Obejmuje ona zmianę techniki wykonywania czynności, które mogą powodować lub nasilać objawy. Przykładowo, można zmienić sposób chwytania lub podnoszenia przedmiotów1. Ważne jest także, aby podczas podnoszenia przedmiotów trzymać łokcie lekko zgięte oraz trzymać przedmioty dłońmi skierowanymi do góry, co zmniejsza obciążenie łokcia12.

Fizjoterapia

Fizjoterapia odgrywa kluczową rolę w leczeniu łokcia tenisisty. Terapia ta koncentruje się na ćwiczeniach wzmacniających i rozciągających mięśnie przedramienia, co pomaga zmniejszyć ból, poprawić elastyczność i zwiększyć siłę mięśniową12. Badania wykazały, że osoby regularnie wykonujące odpowiednie ćwiczenia doświadczają szybszego ustąpienia bólu i poprawy funkcji1.

Fizjoterapeuta może również stosować techniki takie jak mobilizacja i manipulacja, które pomagają złagodzić ból i sztywność1. Inne metody fizjoterapeutyczne, które mogą być stosowane to:

  • Masaż tkanek głębokich – pomaga rozluźnić mięśnie zginaczy nadgarstka i zwiększyć przepływ krwi do uszkodzonych tkanek12
  • Technika ART (Active Release Technique) – metoda terapii manualnej ukierunkowana na leczenie tkanek miękkich1
  • Technika Graston – wykorzystująca specjalne narzędzia do masażu1
  • Mobilizacja Mulligana z terapingiem – forma fizjoterapii, która zmienia pozycję mięśni, aby chronić uszkodzone ścięgna przed dalszym napięciem1
  • Ultradźwięki – wykorzystują fale dźwiękowe o wysokiej częstotliwości do zwiększenia przepływu krwi, co może zmniejszyć ból i przyspieszyć gojenie12
  • Terapia laserowa o wysokiej intensywności – może pomóc w procesie gojenia1
  • Elektrostymulacja – techniki stymulacji mięśni1

Ćwiczenia w leczeniu łokcia tenisisty

Specyficzne ćwiczenia są niezwykle ważne w leczeniu łokcia tenisisty. Ćwiczenia ekscentryczne, które polegają na wydłużaniu mięśnia pod napięciem, są szczególnie skuteczne po ustąpieniu ostrej fazy1. Do zalecanych ćwiczeń należą:

  • Ćwiczenia wzmacniające przedramię i nadgarstek1
  • Ćwiczenia rozciągające przedramię – dla łokcia tenisisty: wyciągnięcie ręki przed sobą, z dłonią skierowaną w dół, i przyciągnięcie dłoni i palców w swoją stronę za pomocą drugiej ręki1
  • Ćwiczenia ze ściskaniem piłeczki1
  • Skręcanie ręcznika – dobre ćwiczenie ekscentryczne, wzmacniające mięśnie podczas ich wydłużania12
  • Ćwiczenia obrotu nadgarstka z obciążeniem1

Istotne jest, aby ćwiczenia nie powodowały ostrego bólu. Jeżeli podczas ćwiczeń pojawia się ból, należy przerwać je i skonsultować się z lekarzem lub fizjoterapeutą12.

Leczenie przeciwbólowe i przeciwzapalne

W leczeniu łokcia tenisisty stosuje się różne metody zmniejszania bólu i stanu zapalnego:

  • Niesteroidowe leki przeciwzapalne (NLPZ) – takie jak ibuprofen czy naproksen, mogą pomóc zmniejszyć ból i obrzęk. Są najbardziej przydatne na początku, gdy ból jest najsilniejszy1. Należy jednak pamiętać, że długotrwałe stosowanie NLPZ może prowadzić do krwawienia z przewodu pokarmowego1.
  • Okłady z lodu – stosowane przez 15-20 minut kilka razy dziennie pomagają zmniejszyć obrzęk i ból12.
  • Terapia ciepłem – może być stosowana po ustąpieniu ostrej fazy, aby rozluźnić mięśnie i poprawić przepływ krwi1.
  • Kąpiele kontrastowe – naprzemienne stosowanie zimna i ciepła przez około 10 minut może pomóc zmniejszyć stan zapalny1.

Ortezy, opaski i stabilizatory

Stosowanie ortez, opasek uciskowych i stabilizatorów może pomóc w zmniejszeniu bólu i umożliwić odpoczynek uszkodzonym ścięgnom1. Stabilizatory łokcia pomagają w następujący sposób:

  • Opaska na łokieć tenisisty (counterforce brace) – zakłada się poniżej łokcia i tworzy tzw. fałszywe pochodzenie, sprawiając, że ramię „myśli”, że ścięgna łączą się dalej w dół ramienia. Pomaga to zmniejszyć objawy, umożliwiając ścięgnom i mięśniom odpoczynek12.
  • Stabilizator nadgarstka – może zmniejszyć napięcie mięśni zginaczy przedramienia, co pomaga zmniejszyć ból łokcia1.
  • Miękkie opaski na łokieć – mogą utrzymać ciepło w łokciu i poprawić elastyczność1.

Zaawansowane metody leczenia łokcia tenisisty

Jeśli standardowe metody leczenia zachowawczego nie przynoszą poprawy po 6-8 tygodniach, lekarz może zaproponować bardziej zaawansowane metody leczenia.

Iniekcje w leczeniu łokcia tenisisty

Iniekcje mogą być pomocne w przypadkach, gdy ból utrzymuje się pomimo stosowania innych metod leczenia. Do najczęściej stosowanych iniekcji należą:

  • Iniekcje kortykosteroidów – silne leki przeciwzapalne, które mogą pomóc złagodzić ból i zmniejszyć stan zapalny1. Należy jednak pamiętać, że mogą one zapewnić jedynie krótkotrwałą ulgę i w dłuższej perspektywie nie są bardziej skuteczne niż brak takiego leczenia1. Ponadto, powtarzane iniekcje kortykosteroidów mogą osłabić ścięgna1.
  • Iniekcje osocza bogatopłytkowego (PRP) – wykorzystują skoncentrowane płytki krwi pacjenta, które zawierają czynniki wzrostu, aby przyspieszyć proces gojenia12. Badania dotyczące skuteczności PRP w leczeniu łokcia tenisisty są jednak niejednoznaczne1.
  • Iniekcje krwi autologicznej – mniejsze ilości własnej krwi pacjenta są wstrzykiwane do uszkodzonego ścięgna, co teoretycznie przyspiesza naturalny proces gojenia1.
  • Iniekcje proloterapeutyczne – mieszanka dekstrozy i nowokainy wstrzykiwana do uszkodzonego ścięgna w celu stymulacji procesu gojenia1.
  • Iniekcje toksyny botulinowej – badania pokazują, że mogą one leczyć przewlekły łokieć tenisisty1.

Inne zaawansowane metody leczenia

Oprócz iniekcji, stosowane są także inne zaawansowane metody leczenia łokcia tenisisty:

  • Terapia falą uderzeniową (ESWT) – wykorzystuje fale dźwiękowe, które są kierowane na łokieć, aby stymulować proces gojenia12. Badania dotyczące skuteczności tej metody są jednak niejednoznaczne1.
  • Fenestacja igłowa – wykorzystuje specjalistyczny ultradźwięk do wielokrotnego prowadzenia igły do uszkodzonego ścięgna w celu zwiększenia przepływu krwi i przyspieszenia gojenia1.
  • Tenotomia ultradźwiękowa – znana również jako Tenex, wykorzystuje ultradźwięki do naprowadzania igły do uszkodzonego ścięgna. Następnie igła jest wprawiana w drgania za pomocą energii ultradźwiękowej tak szybko, że zamienia uszkodzoną tkankę w płyn, co umożliwia jej usunięcie1.
  • Suche igłowanie – technika, w której cienka igła jest wprowadzana do mięśni w określonych punktach wokół łokcia. Badania wykazały, że suche igłowanie może przynieść korzyści w leczeniu łokcia tenisisty1.
  • Akupunktura – tradycyjna metoda medycyny Dalekiego Wschodu, która może pomóc w leczeniu bólu łokcia tenisisty, jednak efekt nie jest długotrwały i utrzymuje się tylko przez 2-8 tygodni1.
  • Plastry z nitrogliceryną – stosowane na łokieć w celu przyspieszenia procesu gojenia1.
  • Przezskórna elektryczna stymulacja nerwów (TENS) – metoda wykorzystująca prąd elektryczny o niskim napięciu do stymulacji nerwów i łagodzenia bólu1.

Leczenie chirurgiczne łokcia tenisisty

Leczenie chirurgiczne jest rozważane tylko wtedy, gdy objawy nie ustępują po 6-12 miesiącach leczenia zachowawczego12. Operacja jest zwykle ostatecznością, ale może być skuteczna w przypadkach opornych na inne metody leczenia. Szacuje się, że tylko około 5-10% przypadków łokcia tenisisty wymaga interwencji chirurgicznej12.

Metody chirurgiczne

Istnieje kilka różnych podejść chirurgicznych stosowanych w leczeniu łokcia tenisisty:

  • Operacja metodą otwartą – najczęstsze podejście, w którym chirurg wykonuje nacięcie nad boczną częścią łokcia, usuwa uszkodzone ścięgno i ponownie przytwierdza zdrową część ścięgna do kości1.
  • Artroskopia – minimalnie inwazyjna procedura, w której wykonuje się kilka małych nacięć, przez które wprowadza się kamerę i narzędzia. Pozwala to chirurgowi na ocenę dodatkowych obrażeń wewnątrzstawowych12.
  • Procedura F.A.S.T. (Focused Aspiration of Scar Tissue) – innowacyjna, minimalnie inwazyjna procedura zaprojektowana do szybkiego i bezpiecznego usuwania tkanki bliznowatej ścięgna, bez naruszania zdrowej tkanki ścięgna1.
  • Procedura Tenex – wykorzystuje ultradźwięki do identyfikacji i usunięcia tkanki bliznowatej wywołującej ból ze ścięgien w łokciu1.

Opieka pooperacyjna

Po zabiegu chirurgicznym, ramię może być czasowo unieruchomione za pomocą szyny. Około tygodnia po operacji szwy i szyna są usuwane12. Po zdjęciu szyny rozpoczyna się program ćwiczeń mających na celu rozciągnięcie łokcia i przywrócenie elastyczności. Lekkie, stopniowe ćwiczenia wzmacniające są rozpoczynane około 2 miesiące po operacji1.

Operacja łokcia tenisisty jest uważana za skuteczną w 80-90% przypadków12. Rehabilitacja zwykle trwa 6-8 tygodni z lekkimi, stopniowymi ćwiczeniami wzmacniającymi i kierowaną fizjoterapią po operacji1. Pełny powrót do normalnej aktywności może nastąpić po około miesiącu po zabiegu, chociaż w niektórych przypadkach dochodzenie do pełnej sprawności może trwać 2-3 miesiące12.

Zasady leczenia łokcia tenisisty

Etapy leczenia

Leczenie łokcia tenisisty można podzielić na kilka etapów, w zależności od zaawansowania schorzenia i reakcji na dotychczasowe leczenie:

  1. Pierwsza linia leczenia – odpoczynek, modyfikacja aktywności, leki przeciwbólowe i przeciwzapalne, okłady z lodu, ortezy1.
  2. Druga linia leczenia – fizjoterapia, ukierunkowane ćwiczenia, terapie manualne1.
  3. Zaawansowane metody leczenia – iniekcje, terapia falą uderzeniową, fenestacja igłowa i inne specjalistyczne metody1.
  4. Leczenie chirurgiczne – rozważane tylko wtedy, gdy inne metody leczenia nie przynoszą efektów po 6-12 miesiącach1.

Skuteczność leczenia

Czas gojenia łokcia tenisisty jest zróżnicowany i zależy od wielu czynników, takich jak przyczyna, stopień uszkodzenia ścięgna oraz czas trwania objawów. W większości przypadków łokieć tenisisty ulega poprawie po kilku tygodniach lub miesiącach odpowiedniego leczenia zachowawczego12.

Oczekiwany czas gojenia to około 6-12 miesięcy, jednak niektóre przypadki mogą wymagać dłuższego leczenia1. Szybkość i skuteczność gojenia zależą również od przestrzegania zaleceń lekarza, fizjoterapeuty oraz wykonywania zaleconych ćwiczeń1.

Warto zaznaczyć, że około 80-95% przypadków łokcia tenisisty leczy się z powodzeniem metodami zachowawczymi, bez konieczności interwencji chirurgicznej12.

Zapobieganie nawrotom łokcia tenisisty

Po wyleczeniu łokcia tenisisty, ważne jest podejmowanie działań zapobiegawczych, aby uniknąć nawrotu schorzenia. Do działań profilaktycznych należą:

  • Wzmacnianie mięśni barku i przedramienia, aby rozłożyć obciążenie na większe mięśnie1.
  • Unikanie przeciążenia i nadmiernego używania mięśni przedramienia1.
  • Regularne przerwy podczas wykonywania czynności, które wymagają powtarzalnych ruchów łokcia i nadgarstka1.
  • Stosowanie prawidłowej techniki podczas aktywności sportowych – formalne lekcje sportu mogą być korzystne, aby zapobiec nabywaniu złych nawyków1.
  • Stosowanie ergonomicznych narzędzi pracy, które zmniejszają obciążenie łokcia1.
  • Utrzymywanie łokci lekko zgiętych podczas ćwiczeń lub podnoszenia przedmiotów1.

Podsumowanie leczenia łokcia tenisisty

Łokieć tenisisty to schorzenie, które w większości przypadków można skutecznie leczyć metodami zachowawczymi. Podstawą leczenia jest odpoczynek, modyfikacja aktywności, stosowanie leków przeciwbólowych i przeciwzapalnych, fizjoterapia oraz ukierunkowane ćwiczenia wzmacniające i rozciągające. W przypadkach opornych na standardowe leczenie, można zastosować bardziej zaawansowane metody, takie jak iniekcje czy terapia falą uderzeniową. Leczenie chirurgiczne jest rozważane tylko wtedy, gdy inne metody leczenia nie przynoszą efektów po 6-12 miesiącach12.

Czas gojenia łokcia tenisisty jest zróżnicowany i zależy od wielu czynników, jednak większość przypadków ulega poprawie w ciągu 6-12 miesięcy. Po wyleczeniu ważne jest stosowanie działań profilaktycznych, aby zapobiec nawrotowi schorzenia12.

Bez względu na wybraną metodę leczenia, ćwiczenia mające na celu odbudowanie siły i przywrócenie funkcji łokcia są niezbędne do pełnego powrotu do zdrowia1.

    Most people who get tennis elbow don’t play tennis! In fact, less than 5% of all tennis elbow cases occur in people who play the sport. Tennis elbow can happen to anyone who repeatedly uses their elbow, wrist, and hand for their job, sport, or hobby. Physical therapists help people with tennis elbow gently heal the affected areas, build muscle strength, and avoid further injury. And, according to a new study, choosing physical therapy for tennis elbow outperforms steroid injections and is cost-effective. […] Your physical therapist will begin a treatment program specific to your needs to speed your recovery. They may use treatments such as: Manual (hands-on) therapy. Special exercises to relieve pain. Ice or heat treatments, or both. […] Research has shown that physical therapy can help people with tennis elbow improve their pain and function. In a recent study, researchers calculated the economic impact of choosing physical therapy for tennis elbow over steroid injections. They found that doing so saves $10,739, including all the hidden costs of your time, pain, missed life events, and the dollars paid for services.

In most cases, treatment involves a team approach. Primary care doctors, physical or occupational therapists and, in some cases, surgeons work together to provide the most effective care. […] Approximately 80 to 95% of patients have success with nonsurgical treatment. […] The first step toward recovery is to give your arm proper rest. This means that you will have to stop or decrease participation in sports, heavy work activities, and other activities that cause painful symptoms for several weeks. […] Acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, may be taken to help reduce pain and swelling.

    Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is painful inflammation in your elbow. […] Your provider will suggest treatments to help your tendon heal. The RICE method is usually the best way to fix tennis elbow: Rest: Take a break from the activity that caused tennis elbow. Try to avoid using your elbow while it heals. Ice: Apply a cold compress or ice pack to your elbow for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, a few times a day. Wrap ice packs in a towel or thin cloth so they dont touch your skin directly. Compression: Wrap a compression bandage around your elbow. Your provider can show you how to safely apply the compression bandage. Elevation: Keep your elbow above the level of your heart as often as you can. […] Other nonsurgical (conservative) tennis elbow treatments include: Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers: Over-the-counter NSAIDs or acetaminophen reduce swelling and relieve pain. Talk to your provider before taking these medications for more than 10 days in a row. Physical therapy: A physical therapist will give you stretches and exercises to strengthen the muscles around your elbow and increase your flexibility. Wearing a brace: Wrist and elbow braces will allow your tendon to rest so it can heal. Your provider will tell you which kind of brace youll need and how often to wear it. Platelet-rich plasma: Your provider will take a sample of your blood and then process it to concentrate platelets (proteins that encourage healing). Then, theyll inject that blood sample into your elbow. Corticosteroids: Corticosteroids are prescription anti-inflammatory medications. Your provider may inject cortisone shots into your injured elbow. Corticosteroids arent as common as other treatments because they may not relieve pain, especially if youve felt pain for more than six weeks. Tenotomy: Your provider will poke a needle through your skin and into your injured tendon using an ultrasound to guide them. Theyll break down and remove damaged tissue to encourage your bodys natural healing process. Shockwave therapy: Your provider will direct a specific pressure frequency where your tendon is injured. The shockwaves encourage your body to speed up the healing.

    The longer you keep doing an activity that harms the tendon after tennis elbow symptoms start, the longer rehab will take. This ongoing activity can cause severe tendon damage and may someday require surgery. […] Corticosteroid injection. This treatment is sometimes used when you still have pain after 6 to 8 weeks of rest and rehab. It may help relieve pain for a short time. But in the long term, having the steroid shot may not help any more than not having it. These steroid shots may be harmful to the tendon. But this is usually only a problem if you have many shots in the same year. […] Ultrasound therapy. It may help your tendon heal and stop pain. […] Surgery. But it’s seldom used to treat tennis elbow. […] Other treatments may include: Acupuncture. Small studies report symptom relief after acupuncture treatment. But there isn’t enough strong evidence to know if this treatment works or not.
