Abstract

Lateral elbow pain is one of the most common sources of medical consultation for elbow disorders. The aetiology of lateral elbow pain is reviewed with an emphasis on the differential diagnosis including key aspects of clinical examination and imaging for lateral epicondylitis, plica, osteochondritis dissecans, radiocapitellar arthritis and posterolateral rotatory instability. Nonoperative and operative treatment of lateral elbow pain is discussed.
