The condition “golfer’s elbow” (medial epicondylits) is an injury to the tendons of the inner elbow which are mainly used when flexing the wrist, as when gripping a golf club.
Radial head fractures of the elbow most commonly affect women between the age of 30-40 years and account for up to 20% of all immediate onset elbow injuries.
The condition “tennis elbow” (lateral epicondylits) is an injury to the tendons of the outer elbow which are mainly used when extending our wrist, as when using a tennis racket.
