About

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition of the outer elbow caused by overuse and degeneration of the forearm extensor tendons at their attachment to the lateral epicondyle. Despite the name, it is most common in non-athletes who perform repetitive gripping and wrist extension — such as tradespeople, office workers, and musicians. It typically responds well to conservative treatment over 6–12 months.
