Elbow
Because the arm is used for so many common activities,
elbow pain can cause significant disruption. The most
common types of elbow pain are known as "tennis elbow,"
which makes it difficult to grip objects, and "golfer's
elbow," which causes pain on the inside of the elbow
joint. Despite their names, these injuries can occur from
a wide range of physical activities such as using a screwdriver
or any other twisting or hand-turning motion. Overuse
or repeated pressure on the elbow joint can cause small
tears to form in the soft tissue, particularly where the
tendons anchor to bone. If a number of these tears occur
over a period of time, they can cause discomfort and reduced
movement of the elbow joint. Degenerative conditions,
such as tendonitis, bursitis or arthritis, as well as
small fractures, dislocations or nerve irritations caused
by accident, can also cause elbow pain.
Clinical Fact:
The strongest risk factor for "tennis elbow"
is age. The peak incidence is between 34 and 54 years
of age. There is no difference in incidence between men
and women, and no connection has been demonstrated between
this condition and the dominant hand. Careers in hairstyling,
waitressing and dental hygienists also predispose to “tennis
elbow.”
