Elbow Condition

Golfer's Elbow

Medial epicondylitis — same loading principles as tennis elbow, opposite side.

Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a tendinopathy of the wrist flexor tendons at the inner elbow. Like tennis elbow, the proven treatment is progressive loading — most cases resolve in 8–16 weeks.

Understanding

What is Golfer's Elbow?

The flexor tendons attach at the medial epicondyle. Repetitive gripping, throwing, or wrist flexion can produce degenerative changes that cause inner elbow pain.
