Lateral epicondylitis is the most common cause of lateral elbow pain in adults. Although it is typically a self-limiting process, there are many nonsurgical and surgical treatment options available if lateral epicondylitis becomes chronic and continues to cause pain. Its common name, tennis elbow, is somewhat of a misnomer because the condition is often work-related and occurs in athletes and nonathletes alike. Acute onset of symptoms occurs more often in young athletes; chronic, recalcitrant symptoms typically occur in older patients. In this review, we describe the pathogenesis and clinical presentation and the nonsurgical and surgical treatment options currently available.
外侧上髁炎是成人外侧肘部疼痛最常见的原因。尽管它通常是一个自限性过程，但如果外侧上髁炎变为慢性并持续引起疼痛，有许多非手术和手术治疗选择。它的常用名称“网球肘”有点用词不当，因为这种情况通常与工作有关，在运动员和非运动员中都可能发生。症状的急性发作在年轻运动员中更常见；慢性、顽固的症状通常发生在老年患者中。在这篇综述中，我们描述了其发病机制、临床表现以及目前可用的非手术和手术治疗选择。
