Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a common condition characterized by pain at the outer elbow.
  • Pain originates from the wrist extensor muscles' attachment to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
  • Less frequently, pain may arise from the medial epicondyle due to flexor-pronator origins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of tennis elbow diagnosis.
  • To discuss various conservative and operative treatment strategies.
  • To enhance understanding of lateral epicondylitis management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic techniques for lateral epicondylitis.
  • Analysis of conservative treatment modalities.
  • Evaluation of surgical interventions for tennis elbow.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of diagnostic criteria for accurate identification of tennis elbow.
  • Presentation of evidence-based conservative treatments.
  • Outline of surgical procedures for refractory cases.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective tennis elbow management.
  • A range of treatment options exists, from conservative care to surgery.
  • Tailoring treatment to the individual patient improves outcomes for lateral epicondylitis.
