[Contribution of thermography to the diagnostics of entesopathy of epicondyli lateralis humeri.].

The author describes results of thermographical examination of patients with the affected lateral epicondyle of humerus prior to the treatment and after the treatment, both conservative and surgical. He descibes both the normal and pathological thermogram of the elbow and evaluates the negative findings in cases of clinically diagnosticated entesopathy of lateral epicondyle and the subsequent treatment. In case of negative thermographic findings on epicondyles there often occur pathological findings in the field of cervical spine indicating a cervicobrachial syndrome with a subsequent secondary entesopathy. Key words: thermography, entesopathy, epicondylitis, cervicobrachial syndrome.
