Lateral Epicondylitis AKA Forearm Extensor Tendinopathy and Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy. Nicknamed Tennis Elbow.
Predominately arises from repetitive movement with wrist extension and alternating forearm pronation and supination.
Racquet sports, golfers and weightlifters.
One of the most prevalent disorders of the arm.
More common in dominant arm.
High association with tennis, particularly one-handed backhand strokes.
Results from repetitive microtrauma generated through overuse contraction of the wrist extensors.
Symptoms: Pain and/or burning in lateral elbow. Aggravated by active and resisted wrist extension. Pain and tenderness elicited upon direct palpation of lateral epicondyle, radiohumeral joint space, common extensor tendon and proximal forearm extensor muscles is a hallmark of lateral epicondylitis. Grip weakness including pain and difficulty shaking hands. Pain with resisted wrist extension and/or resisted middle-finger extension with elbow in extension.
Insidious onset.
Slow progression of worsening symptoms.
Medial Epicondylitis AKA Forearm Flexor Tendinopathy and Medial Elbow Tendinopathy Nicknamed - Golfer’s Elbow and Climber’s Elbow
Pain and tenderness just distal to medial epicondyle.
Medial elbow pain with repetitive wrist flexion and forearm pronation.
Certain population groups are at an increased risk of medial epicondylitis including overhead athletes, golfers and climbers.
One-third as frequent as lateral epicondylitis.
Etiology is degenerative and related to repetitive overuse and underlying tendinopathy.
Generally, involves repetitive movement, including a combination of forearm pronation and wrist flexion.
Begins with repetitive microtrauma to wrist flexors originating at their insertion on medial epicondyle.
Muscles most commonly involved include pronator teres and flexor carpi radialis but can include any of the wrist flexors.
Cervical radiculopathy of C6 or C7 nerve roots is often associated with medial epicondylitis.
Symptoms: Tenderness just distal to medial epicondyle. Medial elbow pain with repetitive wrist flexion and forearm pronation. Referred pain with activities that place stress on origin of Flexor Carpi Radialis and Pronator Teres. Some people may have pain only during physically demanding activities. Tenderness over origin of flexor pronator mass. Pain on resisted flexion and/or pronation. Wrist flexion and forearm pronation may be weaker when compared with opposite side due to pain. Chronic conditions may exhibit pain with resisted elbow flexion. Grip strength decrease, although magnitude is less than seen in lateral epicondylitis.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is present in 20% of cases.
