Q: What is the difference between “tennis elbow” and “golfer’s elbow”?
A: I’ve been asked this question a lot and even after I answer it, I still get confused looks. Let’s try again. Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are generic terms giving to tendinitis or epicondylitis of the elbow. The terms are more applicable to a right-handed individual since tennis elbow is commonly used for a lateral tendinitis or epicondylitis and golfer’s elbow refers to medial tendinitis or epicondylitis.
