Tennis elbow
Tennis elbow is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender. It's a condition that is commonly associated with playing tennis, though the injury can happen to almost anybody.
The condition is more formally known as lateral epicondylitis ("inflammation to the outside elbow bone"), lateral epicondylosis, or simply lateral elbow pain.
According to the best available scientific evidence, tennis elbow is an idiopathic, self-limiting, enthesopathy of middle age. As with many other hand and arm condition speculative aetiologies such as overuse, tennis, etc. have very limited scientific support.
