The Procedure
TenJet, made by HydroCision, Inc., is used by physicians in our network to treat degenerated tendon tissue on either side of the elbow — including the medial side affected by golfer's elbow — through a small, ultrasound-guided incision.
Choosing a Specialist
Golfer's elbow affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow, where tennis elbow affects the outer side — the distinction matters for diagnosis and treatment.

Common Questions
Medial epicondylitis: degeneration of the flexor-pronator tendons where they attach to the inner elbow. Despite the name it is mostly caused by work and lifting rather than golf.
The approach is the same; the location differs. Treatment targets the medial tendon origin on the inner elbow rather than the lateral origin on the outer side.
The ulnar nerve runs close to the medial elbow, which is precisely why continuous ultrasound guidance matters here. Your physician will discuss the specific risks in your case.
Grip strength typically returns progressively alongside a therapy program rather than immediately. Your physician will set the pace based on how the tendon responds.
