Background:

Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, impacts patient health status.
The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire is a validated tool for assessing this condition.
An official German translation of the PRTEE was previously unavailable.

To translate and cross-culturally adapt the English PRTEE questionnaire into German.
To create an official German version of the PRTEE for clinical use.

Main Methods:

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation followed international guidelines.
An expert committee conducted forward translation, back-translation, and pre-testing.
Pre-validation involved 11 patients with lateral epicondylitis.
