Lateral epicondylitis: a review of pathology and management

Z Ahmad et al. Bone Joint J. 2013 Sep.

Abstract

Lateral epicondylitis, or 'tennis elbow', is a common condition that usually affects patients between 35 and 55 years of age. It is generally self-limiting, but in some patients it may continue to cause persistent symptoms, which can be refractory to treatment. This review discusses the mechanism of disease, symptoms and signs, investigations, current management protocols and potential new treatments.

Keywords: Elbow; Lateral epicondylitis; PRP; Pathology; Tendinopathy; Tennis elbow.
