Dr. Rohde describes tennis elbow.
Dr. Rohde:
Tennis elbow actually is also called lateral epicondylitis. It is a micro-tearing of tendons that insert on an area in our elbow called the lateral epicondyle, hence the name lateral epicondylitis. It tends to happen in our 30s, 40s, 50s. It’s a degenerative kind of condition, and it often happens in people who don’t play tennis.
