Getting a ‘jump' on healing tennis elbow

Bleeding is often a sign of injury. But in some cases, a person's own blood can be used to recover from those injuries.

Take tennis elbow as an example. Actually called lateral epicondylitis, the condition is an inflammation of the upper arm tendon cause by repeated motion.

A relatively new treatment allows surgeons to use someone's blood as a way to help the tendon heal. The treatment isolates the blood platelets and harnesses their healing potential, offering in some cases an alternative to long-term medication or getting cut open.
