    Epicondylitis, often caused by mechanical stress in the working hand, typically affects individuals aged 40-60. Conservative treatments are successful in 90% of cases, with surgery reserved for persistent issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Musculoskeletal Disorders

    Context:

    • Epicondylitis involves tendinosis at the radial or ulnar epicondylus.
    • It affects the common origin of extensor or flexor muscles.
    • Mechanical stress is a primary etiological factor.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the characteristics and management of epicondylitis.
    • To highlight the efficacy of conservative treatments.
    • To suggest surgical options when conservative measures fail.

    Summary:

    • Epicondylitis is characterized by tendinosis at the elbow's epicondylar region.
    • Mechanical stress, particularly from hand use, is a major cause.
    • Most cases (90%) resolve with conservative management.
