Autologous Blood Injection to Common Extensor Tendon

You have been referred to have an autologous blood injection to your common extensor origin tendon at the elbow. The commonest reasons for this are having tendinopathy or a partial tear in the tendon.

The procedure involves taking some blood from a vein in your arm (similar to a blood test) and then injecting it directly into the abnormal part of the tendon, using an ultrasound scanner to ensure accurate placement.
