Revision as of 13:17, 30 January 2010
In medicine, lateral epicondylitis, also called tennis elbow, is "a condition characterized by pain in or near the lateral humeral epicondyle or in the forearm extensor muscle mass as a result of unusual strain. It occurs in tennis players as well as housewives, artisans, and violinists."[1]
Treatment
The role of exercises is not clear.[2]
The role of orthotic devices is not clear.[3]
Corticosteroid injections may offer the best relief after 6 weeks, but due to relapses, conservative therapy may be best after a year.[4][5]
Botulinum toxin may reduce pain.[6]
