Epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, affects many athletes, causing pain and hindering performance. While most cases resolve with non-surgical treatment, some athletes may need surgery for full recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Elbow pathology

Background:

  • Epicondylitis is a common condition in athletes, leading to persistent symptoms and reduced athletic capacity.
  • Accurate diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other elbow pathologies, which may coexist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and management of epicondylitis in athletes.
  • To discuss the efficacy of non-surgical and surgical treatment options.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of epicondylitis diagnosis and treatment.
  • Analysis of non-surgical and surgical outcomes in athletic populations.

Main Results:

  • Non-surgical treatment is effective for most athletes with epicondylitis.
