Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to assess the potential role of autologous tenocytes therapy in the healing process of tennis elbow.
Interventions
Autologous Tenocytes Injection
Autologous tenocytes will be digested from a small epitendineum tissue (connective tissue on the surface of tendon) harvested from patients’ patellar tendon. After a period of in vivo cultivation, 2ml of autologous tenocytes at concentration of 3X106cell/ml will be inject into the elbow site where feel most pain.Patients will be rescheduled for follow-up appointment at 4 and 12 weeks after the injection.
During any stage of this study, patients are obligation free
