Overview
What is tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)?
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is an irritation of the tendon attachments on the outside of the elbow. Despite its name, it rarely affects tennis players, but frequently affects people with repetitive hand and forearm strain – such as in office or manual work.
Typical symptoms
Pain on the outside of the elbow, intensified when gripping, lifting, or extending the wrist. Often even lifting a cup or shaking hands causes pain.
Possible causes
Repetitive, unfamiliar, or one-sided strain on the hand and forearm, overload of the tendons, and low load capacity of the musculature.
