What is the role of surgery when treating an overuse tendinitis?
By overuse tendinitis, I really mean tendinitis, not tendinosis.
{1} indicates that the role of surgery when treating an overuse tendinitis is unknown, but the paper was published over 15 years ago.
I am mostly interested in epicondylopathies (medial or lateral, i.e., tennis elbows and golfer elbows)

Depending on your age, clinical treatment with rest, physiotherapy, NSAID, epicondylitis, both lateral and medial, may take one to several months to resolve. Surgery is a last resort and should be reserved to those cases where there is complete rupture of a tendon.
