Product catalog summary
Overview of Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (LET)
Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a chronic musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain due to tendinopathy of the common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle. It results from recurrent mechanical overuse, leading to microscopic tears and degeneration of the tendon. LET is not merely inflammation but involves histopathological changes such as abnormalities in cellularity, vascularity, and collagen arrangement.

Current Treatment Options
Conservative treatments include bracing, physiotherapy, and NSAIDs, with corticosteroid injections and surgery as more invasive options. However, 72% of patients treated with steroids experience recurrence within 12 months, and long-term results are often poor, with over 50% not recovering fully after 12 months.

Orthovisc-T Clinical Study
A study involving 49 subjects treated with Orthovisc-T showed significant improvements in pain and function over six months. The study met all primary and secondary endpoints with strong statistical significance (p<0.001). Adverse events were minimal and unrelated to the treatment.

Orthovisc-T Product Information
Orthovisc-T is an injectable viscoelastic sodium hyaluronate designed to relieve pain and restore function in tendons affected by chronic lateral epicondylosis. It is supplied in a sterile syringe containing 15 mg/mL of sodium hyaluronate. The product should be stored at 2°C to 25°C and has a shelf life of 24 months.

Recommended Injection Technique
The injection should be administered by a trained physician using a 22 to 25 gauge needle. The procedure involves injecting Orthovisc-T around the affected osteotendinous junction, ensuring proper distribution across the tendon. Post-injection, the patient should perform specific wrist movements to aid distribution.

Conclusion
Orthovisc-T offers a clinically proven solution for relieving pain and restoring function in patients with chronic lateral epicondylosis, with effective outcomes and a low risk of adverse events.

What is Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy? The most common chronic musculoskeletal pain condition aFFecting the elbow causing significant pain, disability and lost productivity1 Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET), or tennis elbow, presents as pain due to tendinopathy of the common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle and considered to be the result of recurrent mechanical overuse or overloading at the lateral elbow. The ability of the tendon to repair itself is overwhelmed and ultimately fails.2 This leads to microscopic tears & degeneration of the tendon joining the forearm muscles to lateral epicondyle...

Recommended injection technique Orthovisc-T is a single use medical device that should be used by a physician trained in periosteotendinous injections only. 7. Re-orientate the syringe through 180O, insert slightly deeper again and retract as you inject the remaining Orthovisc-T to ensure the spread of Orthovisc-T across the tendon. 9. After the injection procedure, patient should flex and extend the wrist five times slowly, then rotate into pronation and supination five times slowly to ensure proper distribution of Orthovisc-T across the tendon.
