Abstract

Lateral epicondylitis (LE), also often called tennis elbow, is a frequent cause of elbow pain. The most characteristic symptom of LE is pain and burning around the lateral epicondyle of the humerus that may radiate to the forearm or to the upper arm. Ultrasonography is a quick and noninvasive tool used to confirm (or exclude) the diagnosis of LE. Management of LE symptoms should be directed to the management of pain, protection of movement, and improvement of arm performance. Treatment of LE includes nonoperative techniques and surgery.
