Tennis Elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common orthopedic condition characterized by inflammation of the tendons on the outer part of the elbow. Despite its name, it can affect individuals beyond tennis players and often results from repetitive forearm and wrist motions. In orthopaedics, tennis elbow is a prevalent cause of elbow pain and dysfunction. Orthopedic assessments for tennis elbow involve evaluating symptoms such as pain and weakness in the forearm and grip strength. Diagnostic tools include clinical examinations, imaging studies like X-rays or MRI, and assessment of daily activities contributing to the condition. Management of tennis elbow in orthopaedics includes conservative measures such as rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications. Physical therapy, bracing, and targeted exercises to strengthen the forearm muscles are crucial for rehabilitation. In resistant cases, corticosteroid injections or, rarely, surgical intervention may be considered. Understanding tennis elbow is essential in orthopaedics for accurate diagnosis, tailored treatment plans, and rehabilitation strategies that address the specific needs of each patient, ensuring optimal recovery and preventing long-term impairment.
