Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is tendinosis (or more precisely enthesopathy) of the medial common flexor tendon on the inside of the elbow. [1] It is similar to tennis elbow , which affects the outside of the elbow at the lateral epicondyle.
Surgical debridement of the affected tendons, usually the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) in lateral epicondylitis, and decortication of the lateral epicondyle [6] Surgical debridement of the flexor pronator group that attaches to the medial epicondyle could be indicated after failure of conservative treatment of medial epicondylitis.

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive option for treating lateral epicondylitis. This technique fully visualizes the elbow joint , and leads to a quicker return to work. [ 62 ] In the past, studies have shown good long term effects and fewer complications with arthroscopic surgery compared to open or percutaneous approaches. [ 62 ]
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
Little League elbow, or apophysitis of the elbow causes children to feel aching, sharp pain, with or without swelling of the inside of their elbow after pitching. Over time, these symptoms can appear and reappear without warning, even when restricting the athlete to lower velocity pitching. [7] Decreased throwing velocity may also be noted. [8]
51% of 39 patients had good or excellent results after rotatory manipulation of the spine under anesthesia. Of patients with positive myelograms, 37% (10 of 27) had good to excellent results three years or more after manipulation. All patients received a single procedure dose. [32] Krumhansl and Nowacek
The Guide 17 is designed for stability, with a wider outsole platform and higher sidewalls — a term for the foam that extends up from the midsole on both the lateral and medial sides of the shoe.
Myofascial release (MFR, self-myofascial release) is an alternative medicine therapy claimed to be useful for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.
