Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral elbow tendinopathy, is a painful condition affecting the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the outer side of the elbow. Despite its name, it is most commonly caused by repetitive gripping, lifting, or twisting movements in everyday work and sport — not necessarily tennis. The tendon undergoes gradual degeneration rather than simple inflammation, which is why recovery typically takes months rather than weeks. Most people improve without surgery through a structured programme of activity modification, physiotherapy, and where needed, injection treatments. Surgery is reserved for the small minority whose symptoms persist despite thorough conservative care, and it aims to remove the damaged tendon tissue and encourage healthy healing.
A structured non-invasive programme of progressive loading exercises, physiotherapy, activity modification, and bracing that addresses the root tendon problem — the cornerstone of recovery for most patients.
Estimated cost: ~$100 – $300
Typical tests: Elbow X-ray (AP and lateral views), Ultrasound of the common extensor tendon, Grip strength measurement, CBC (complete blood count), Blood sugar (fasting) — to assess healing risk in diabetic patients. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $500 – $1,000
Treatment duration in India: ~2 weeks (~5 hospital visit days across the full span)
A targeted injection — either a corticosteroid for fast short-term pain relief or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood for longer-lasting tendon healing — used when physiotherapy alone has not controlled the pain.
Estimated cost: ~$100 – $300
Typical tests: Elbow X-ray (AP and lateral views), Ultrasound of the common extensor tendon (diagnostic + injection guidance), CBC (complete blood count), Blood sugar (fasting), Coagulation profile (PT/INR) — relevant if PRP or blood injection is planned. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $500 – $1,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~3 days recommended
Total stay: approx 5 days
Surgery to remove the degenerated tendon tissue — performed through an open incision or using a small arthroscopic camera — reserved for cases where at least 6–12 months of conservative treatment and injections have not provided lasting relief.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $400
Typical tests: Elbow X-ray (AP and lateral views), Ultrasound or MRI of the elbow (to confirm extent of tendon degeneration and rule out joint pathology), CBC (complete blood count), Blood sugar (fasting) and HbA1c, Renal and liver function tests (KFT and LFT), Coagulation profile (PT/INR), ECG (for patients above 40 years or with cardiac history), Anaesthesia fitness assessment. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $4,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~7 days recommended
Total stay: approx 11 days
