TENNIS/GOLFER’S ELBOW
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are considered to be overload tendon injuries, which occur after minor and often unrecognised trauma to the proximal insertion of the extensor (tennis elbow) or flexor (golfer's elbow) muscles of the forearm:
- Tennis elbow: reactive tendon pathology of extensor forearm muscle origins, causing lateral elbow and upper forearm pain and tenderness. Caused by repetitive stress at the muscle-
tendon junction and its origin at the lateral epicondyle. - Golfer's elbow: reactive tendon pathology of flexor forearm muscles, causing medial elbow pain. Caused by repetitive stress at the muscle-
tendon junction and its origin at the medial epicondyle.
