Tennis Elbow and Golfer's elbow

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a common injury causing pain on the outside of the elbow. Despite it's name, this condition is not commonly seen in tennis players but more in work related elbow injuries particularly where repetitive stress is involved.

Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a similar injury to tennis elbow only it affects the inside of the elbow instead. Golfer's elbow is more common in throwers (throwers elbow) and golfers hence the nicknames.
