@entity1 @entity4 @entity23343 @entity2633 @entity158 @entity2720
BACKGROUND: @entity2633 , a relatively common dise @entity23343 , is classified among inflammatory conditions of soft tissues and is frequently associated with @entity158 . The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of radiotherapy in @entity1 with epi con dylitis humeri. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was based on the observation of 50 cases. All @entity1 were irradiated with 6-MV photons delivered in 1 Gy fraction doses, up to a total of 6 Gy, using two opposite coaxial fields. Follow-up examinations took place immediately after the treatment and at 1, 2-3, 4-6, 8-12, 19-24 and 26-30 months post-treatment. @entity158 relief, joint mobility, regional @entity4 , joint temperature and the percentage of @entity1 using analgesics were assessed. RESULTS: No adverse events were observed. The mean percentage of @entity1 with @entity158 relief was 22.8% directly after, compared to 70.2% at 8-12 months and 57.5% at 26-30 months post-treatment. A @entity2720 was by 16% of the @entity1 at one year after treatment and in 25% of the @entity1 at 26-30 months after treatment. The percentages of @entity1 with increased elbow temperature, elbow @entity4 and analgesics uptake at the respective time points were 6% and 0%, 36% and 0%, and 0% and 37%. The percentage of @entity1 reporting partial and complete @entity158 relief was 41.7% and 45.8%, and 30% and 40%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Anti-inflammatory radiotherapy of @entity1 with @entity2633 is a safe and effective method of treatment.
