A three-year medical study conducted in collaboration with Singapore General Hospital and the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, found that treatment with Tenex Health’s TX System provided sustained relief from pain as well as functional improvement in patents’ suffering from tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Percutaneous tenotomy using the Tenex Health TX System is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that does not require a large incision like traditional surgery.
The study, published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, relates the experience of 20 patients who received a single treatment with the TX System and no adjunctive or subsequent care. One hundred percent of the study patients expressed satisfaction with their treatment. Pain relief improved from a baseline average of 5.4 to 2.0 at 3 months, 0.7 at 12 months and 0.4 at 36 months. Researchers observed statistically significant benefit in the DASH-Compulsory scores from 27.8 averages at baseline to 0.4 at 36 months and reported no patient or product complications.
Joyce Koh, M.D., co-author of the study, commented that, “Patients suffering from recalcitrant response have limited solutions to address their pain and compromised function. The percutaneous tenotomy using the Tenex Health TX1 Microtip is an attractive alternative to surgical intervention for definitive treatment. All the patients tolerated the procedure well and underwent a short recovery period as compared to surgery.”
The results were achieved with a single treatment with the TX System and patients required no adjunctive or subsequent care. The study demonstrated that percutaneous tenotomy using the Tenex Health TX System is one of the few procedures that promotes post-procedure healing of tissue in the affected elbow.
“This is an impressive study in its quality of documentation and length of follow-up in this patient population that has to date been provided limited options to treat their chronic pain, ” said Bernard Morrey, M.D., the past-president of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Emeritus Chair of the Department of Orthopedics, Mayo Clinic, and Chief Medical Officer of Tenex Health. “The Tenex Health TX System is indicated for use in surgical procedures where fragmentation, emulsification and aspiration of soft tissue are desirable.”
