dc.description.abstractLateral epicondylitis is a common overuse syndrome of the upper extremity. Various factors including chronic microtraumas and local ischemia have been implicated in its etiology. The lack of evidence concerning its pathophysiology has resulted in the exploration of numerous treatment strategies. However, there is still no treatment which is based on a high level of evidence and on which a consensus has been reached. Histopathological examinations revealed that the disease is a degenerative process accompanied by angiofibroblastic hyperplasia rather than an inflammatory condition, and new treatment modalities have been introduced based on this finding. The injection of autologous blood into the painful tendon area is one of these modalities. Herein, the role of autologous blood injection in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis was reviewed in the light of the literature.
