Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is pain and irritation at the inner portion of the elbow that is caused by repetitive activity.

This condition can happen in patients who have never played golf.

It is associated with repetitive twisting of the elbow and is more common in those who perform heavy physical labor, heavy lifting or repetitive activity.

The mainstay of treatment is non-operative.
