Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is tendinosis of the medial epicondyle on the inside of the elbow.
The anterior forearm contains several muscles that are involved with flexing the digits of the hand, and flexing andpronating the wrist. The tendons of these muscles come together in a common tendinous sheath, which originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus at the elbow joint. In response to minor injury, or sometimes for no obvious reason at all, this point of insertion becomes inflamed.
The condition is called Golfer’s Elbow because in making a golf swing this tendon is stressed, especially if a non-overlapping (baseball style) grip is used; many people, however, who develop the condition have never handled a golf club. It is also sometimes called Pitcher’s Elbow due to the same tendon being stressed by the throwing of objects such as a baseball, but this usage is much less frequent.
