Garden's(?) operation for bursitis (tennis elbow)

[Segilla]

Some 25 years ago, after futile treatment including a deep injection into the elbow, my surgeon operated on me by diagonally slicing a tendon at the wrist and sewing it back, slighly lengthening it to take pressure off the nerve at the elbow. He said it was a safer procedure than moving the nerve.

It was a great success.

He's long since dead, but he told me it was because of its simplicity that he was trying to popularise this long abandoned operation.

I've been unable to find out if his campaign msde any headway.
