The following research study has been approved to determine the safety
and effectiveness of concentrated platelets prepared by using the Biomet
Biologics, Inc., Warsaw, Indiana, RecoverŪ Platelet Separation Kit in
patients with chronic tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).
Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) contains factors that are important in the
healing process. Participants will receive an injection with or without
PRP. Unlike other traditional tennis elbow treatments that may include
compression forearm bands and/or surgery, the RecoverŪ Kit technique
involves a simple injection performed in the office. Only those patients
that meet the pre-defined approved inclusion/exclusion criteria are
eligible to volunteer in this study.
