Definition:
Schmerzen am Epicondylus lateralis oder medialis des Ellenbogens.
Häufigkeit:
Die Epicondylitis lateralis ist die häufigste Tendinopathie des Menschen.
Symptome:
Durch Überbelastung ausgelöste Schmerzen an der Seite des Ellbogens, die oft in den Unterarm Richtung Handgelenk ausstrahlen.
Befunde:
Die laterale Epikondylitis verursacht Schmerzen bei isometrischer Extension des Handgelenks, die mediale Epikondylitis bei isometrischer Flexion.
Diagnostik:
Zusätzliche Untersuchungen sind in der Regel nicht erforderlich.
Therapie:
Die Behandlung erfolgt bei hohem Selbstheilungspotenzial konservativ mit u. a. Verzicht auf schmerzauslösende Aktivitäten und weiteren Maßnahmen wie Bewegungstherapie.
