A partially torn tendon was discovered in the elbow of a 56-75 year old female after multiple visits to her doctor for elbow pain. An MRI showed a large partial tear at the origin of the extensor tendons consistent with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Her doctor recommended surgery but asked if it would eventually heal on its own or if surgery was necessary.

Conservative treatment includes modification of activities, anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy and corticosteroid injections. For patients not improving significantly, surgery may be considered, but given the partial
