Medial epicondylitis, which is also called "Golfer's Elbow" is a pathology which typically presents as medial elbow pain. It affects 1% of the general population, yet affects 3.8% to 8.2% of work-related complaints. Golfer's elbow is common in the 40 to 60-year-old age group so those suffering from it are part of the workforce and hence, its economic impact. Women and men alike suffer from golfer's elbow, and microtrauma combined with attritional changes in the common flexor tendon origin at the medial aspect of the elbow are the culprit of this pathology. The first line of treatment is conservative therapy and only when it fails is an open surgical approach utilized. New approaches to treating this ailment such as use of Extra Corporeal Shock Wave therapy and the use of injectable blood derivatives, as well as new surgical techniques are also being applied.
