Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Autologous Tenocytes Injection
Autologous tenocytes will be digested from a small epitendineum tissue (connective tissue on the surface of tendon) harvested from patients’ patellar tendon. After a period of in vivo cultivation, 2ml of autologous tenocytes at concentration of 3X106cell/ml will be inject into the elbow site where feel most pain.Patients will be rescheduled for follow-up appointment at 4 and 12 weeks after the injection.
During any stage of this study, patients are obligation free to leave the experiment. Those chosen to leave will be referral to standard treatment.
