AB  - BACKGROUND: Lateral epicondylitis (LE)(1) affects between 1 and 3% of the 
      population. Recently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP)(2) has gained popularity. AIM: 
      Assess the long-term outcomes of PRP for patients with refractory LE. METHODS: We 
      assessed 31 patients who had failed conservative management using the Oxford 
      Elbow Score (OES).(3). RESULTS: Mean follow-up: 5.2 years (range 4.2-6.1 
      years).87.1% exhibited minimum clinically important difference (MCID)(4) in pain 
      scores between pre-op and long-term. 90.3% displayed MCID in function and 
      psycho-social domains.Two patients had a repeat injection and six underwent open 
      release. DISCUSSION: PRP is successful in treating refractory LE in most patients 
      and avoiding surgery.
