Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of a bioinductive patch in patients with lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving standard surgical treatment and the other receiving the same surgery with the addition of the bioinductive patch. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the patch in promoting tendon healing and regrowth compared to surgery alone, using ultrasound and other evaluation methods. All participants will have previously failed conservative treatment options for their condition.
