Abstract(s)
A Epicondilite lateral apresenta-se como a patologia mais frequente do cotovelo, sendo considerada uma doença ocupacional e autolimitada.
A dor e disfunção, principais sintomas da mesma, são desencadeados por movimentos repetitivos e vigorosos causando sobrecarga da articulação do cotovelo.
Apesar de ter sido diagnosticada pela primeira vez no século XIX, continua ainda atualmente a carecer de evidências científicas fortes, sendo por essa razão envolta em controvérsia relativamente à sua etiopatogenia e tratamento.
Segundo a literatura científica, as diversas opções terapêuticas devem seguir certas características próprias do indivíduo e da sua patologia, sendo por essa razão individualizada. Existem diversas modalidades terapêuticas, tais como, toxina botulínica tipo A, corticosteroides e laser, mas que atualmente o seu uso é desencorajado. De forma contrária, estudos recentes revelam resultados promissores de novas modalidades terapêuticas.
Esta monografia pretende apresentar as características da Epicondilite lateral e dos tratamentos disponíveis. Inclui ainda, métodos de diagnóstico, diagnósticos diferenciais e mecanismos de prevenção.
Lateral epicondylitis is the most common pathology of the elbow, being considered as an occupational and self-limiting condition. Major symptoms like pain and dysfunction are triggered by repetitive and vigorous movements causing overload of the elbow joint. Although diagnosed for the first time in the 19th century, it still lacks strong scientific evidence and is therefore involved in controversy regarding its etiopathogenesis and treatment. According to the scientific literature, the variety of therapeutic options should follow certain patient’s characteristics, being therefore individualized. There are several therapeutic modalities such as botulinum toxin type A, corticosteroids and laser, whose are currently discouraged. On the contrary, recent studies show promising results of new therapeutic modalities. This monograph aims to present the characteristics of lateral epicondylitis and the available treatments. It also includes diagnostic methods, differential diagnosis and prevention mechanisms.
