Özet:

 Aim: Lateral elbow tendinopathy LET is a problem affecting basic daily living activities, characterized by increased pain and decreased function. This study aimed to compare pain, function, and sleep quality according to extremity involvement in patients with LET. Methods: Eighty-eight patients diagnosed with LET were divided into two groups: dominant extremity involvement DEI, n44 and those with nondominant extremity involvement NDEI, n44. Patient demographic and clinical data were recorded. Pain was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale VAS, function using the Liverpool Elbow Score, and sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI. Results: The mean age of the DEI group was 45.64 years, and 44.82 years for the NDEI group p0.680. The mean symptom duration was 4.36 months for the DEI group and 5.23 months for the NDEI group p0.438. The mean resting, hand physical activity, and night VAS for pain were 2.47, 7.82, 5.79 for the DEI, 2.57, 7.45, and 5.28 for the NDEI group p0.05. There were no significant differences between the DEI and NDEI groups for the Liverpool Elbow Score clinical, patient-reported, elbow range of motion, elbow-related symptoms, and total score sub-dimensions p0.05 and PSQI scores DEI: 6.18; NDEI: 6.07, p0.876. Conclusion: This novel observational study found no differences in pain, function, and sleep quality between dominant and nondominant extremities involved in patients with LET. Dominant or nondominant extremity involvement does not influence the clinical expression of LET, and treatment strategies should focus on the overall symptom severity rather than hand dominance.

 Amaç: Lateral dirsek tendinopatisi LDT temel günlük yaşam aktivitelerini etkileyen, artan ağrı ve azalan fonksiyon ile karakterize bir problemdir. Bu çalışma LDT hastalarında ekstremite etkilenimine göre ağrı, fonksiyon ve uyku kalitesini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: LDT tanısı konan seksen sekiz hasta: dominant ekstremitesi etkilenen DEE, n44 ve nondominant ekstremitesi etkilenen NDEE, n44 olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların demografik ve klinik verileri kaydedildi. Ağrı, Görsel Analog Skalası GAS kullanılarak, fonksiyon Liverpool Dirsek Skoru kullanılarak ve uyku kalitesi Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi PUKİ kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: DEE grubunun yaş ortalaması 45,64, NDEE grubunun ise 44,82 idi p0,680. DEE grubunda ortalama semptom süresi 4,36 ay, NDEE grubunda ise 5,23 aydı p0,438. Ortalama istirahat, el fiziksel aktivitesi ve gece GAS ağrıları DEE grubu için 2,47, 7,82 ve 5,79, NDEE grubu için ise 2,57, 7,45 ve 5,28 idi p0,05. DEE ve NDEE grupları arasında Liverpool Dirsek Skorunun klinik, hasta tarafından bildirilen, dirsek hareket açıklığı, dirsekle ilişkili semptomlar ve toplam skor alt boyutlarında p0,05 ve PUKİ skorunda anlamlı fark yoktu DEE: 6,18; NDEE: 6,07, p0,876. Sonuç: Bu yeni gözlemsel çalışmada LDT hastalarında dominant ve nondominant ekstremiteler arasında ağrı, fonksiyon ve uyku kalitesi açısından herhangi bir fark saptanmadı. Dominant veya nondominant ekstremite etkilenimi LDTnin klinik ifadesini etkilememektedir ve tedavi stratejileri el baskınlığından ziyade genel semptom şiddetine odaklanmalıdır.
