Abstract
Lateral tendinosis of the elbow popularly known as tennis elbow refers to a degenerative process in the common origin of the extensor group of muscles of the forearm. It was first described by Runge in 1873 and subsequently coined “lawn-tennis arm†by Major in 1883 [1,2]. It is the most common cause of elbow pain in patients attending the orthopedic clinics. It occurs most commonly in the tendon of extensor carpi radialis brevis [3] although other tendons of the extensor bundle such as the extensor digitorum communis may be involved (30% of cases) [4].
