Abstract EN
Lateral epicondylitis, also termed as “tennis elbow,” is the most common cause of elbow pain and dysfunction, mainly resulting from repetitive gripping or wrist extension during various activities.
The exact pathogenesis remains largely elusive with putative tendinosis, a symptomatic degenerative process of the local tendon.
It is usually diagnosed by clinical examinations.
Sometimes, additional imaging is required for a specific differential diagnosis.
Although most cases can be self-healing, the optimal treatment strategy for chronic lateral epicondylitis remains controversial.
This article presents a landscape of emerging evidence on lateral epicondylitis and focuses on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management, shedding light on the understandings and treatment for healthcare professionals.
