Medial epicondylitis is commonly known as?

• A. Pitcher's Elbow.
• B. Little Leaguer's Elbow.
• C. Tennis Elbow.
• D. Golfer's Elbow.

Answer: (D)

Medial epicondylitis is an overuse injury of the forearm flexor tendons at the inner elbow. The name you’ll most often see for this condition is Golfer's Elbow, because the repetitive wrist flexion and forearm pronation in the golf swing stresses those tendons. Clinically, this presents as inner-elbow pain that worsens with resisted wrist flexion or gripping, and tenderness over the medial epicondyle.

Tennis Elbow is the corresponding condition on the outer part of the elbow (lateral epicondylitis), while Little Leaguer's Elbow refers to apophyseal injury in young throwing athletes, and Pitcher's Elbow is a broader term sometimes used for throwing injuries but not the specific name for medial epicondylitis.
