Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow

The condition known as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is brought on by a thickening, swelling, or developing small tear in the tendon that connects your forearm muscles to the outside of your elbow. It results in soreness and agony. It usually affects the dominant upper extremity and is linked to forceful, repetitive movements.  

With wrist extension, pain is frequently most incapacitating. Golfer's elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is characterised by pain and inflammation in the tendons that join the elbow to the forearm. The inside of your elbow has a bony lump that's the source of the pain, which could also spread into your forearm.

Overuse of the forearm muscles that enable you to grasp, rotate your arm, and flex your wrist can frequently result in golfer's elbow. 

One of the most frequent injuries we treat is elbow discomfort, which includes tennis and golf elbow. They are also among the wounds that heal the fastest.

Recent research has demonstrated the efficacy in the management of inflammatory elbow tendons and ligaments. Surgery on the elbow is rarely a viable or practical option for the typical person. We highly recommend giving OrthoGen Clinic a call and setting up an appointment with one of our doctors if you're still having elbow pain.

Our skilled medical professionals can accurately get a patient's medical history through conversation and do an examination to diagnose tennis and golfer's elbow. Patients who come to see us for golfers elbow typically complain of discomfort on the inside of the elbow, whereas patients with tennis elbow typically complain of pain on the outside.

When examined, these areas are frequently fairly tender to the touch. Certain tests can verify the diagnosis; for instance, the patient may experience significant pain when clutching. Furthermore, the Cozen's test and the Maudsley's test, which measure resistance in the middle finger and wrist, respectively, might be highly suggestive of tennis elbow.
