Tennis Elbow
Alternate Names : Lateral Epicondylitis, Elbow Tendonitis OR Tendinosis
How is the condition diagnosed?
The history and physical examination are often enough for a healthcare provider
to make the diagnosis. People often mention an activity that strains the
involved muscles, such as tennis. The outside of the elbow is tender, and
straightening the wrist or fingers against resistance causes pain. X-rays are
usually normal. However, these may be ordered in some cases to make sure
nothing more serious is present.
