Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Epicondylitis is a painful inflammation or tenderness of the muscles and soft tissues around an epicondyle.
Medial epicondylitis is mostly an overload injury. The most sensitive region is located near the origin of the wrist flexors on the medial epicondyle of the humerus. Sometimes the patient also experiences pain on the ulnar side of the forearm, the wrist and occasionally in the fingers. Although epicondylitis means there is an inflammation, there is some controversy with this pathology. Histologically it has been shown that medial epicondylitis is the result of microtearing in the tendon that isn’t fully relapsed. Some physical therapists prefer the term tendonosis instead of epicondylitis. [1]
