Introduction Lateral elbow pain is one of the most common sources of medical consultation for non-traumatic elbow disorders. The most frequent diagnosis is the tendinous disorder known as lateral epicondylitis (LE) or ‘tennis elbow’. However

Introduction Medial elbow pain is not very common in the general population. Medial epicondylitis (ME) has shown a prevalence of < 1% and has been calculated to be one-third as frequent as lateral epicondylitis. 1 Certain groups of the

lateral epicondylitis with iatrogenic damage to the LCL. 1 , 5 - 7 PLRI usually occurs from a fall on the outstretched hand. On impact, the radial head and ulna rotate externally together with valgus displacement of the forearm. This leads to
