Elbow injuries and conditions

Medial epicondylitis, also called golfer's elbow or elbow tendinitis, causes pain on the inner side of the elbow when gripping, carrying weight or bending the wrist. We explain why it appears, how to check for it at home and how we treat it at Mitra Salud.

Lateral epicondylitis, also called tennis elbow or elbow tendinitis, causes pain on the outer side of the elbow when gripping objects or turning the wrist. We explain why it appears, how to check for it at home and how we treat it at Mitra Salud.

Distal biceps tendinitis causes pain at the front of the elbow when lifting weight with your arm bent or turning your palm up. We explain why it appears, how to check for it at home and how we treat it at Mitra Salud.

A distal biceps tear happens when the biceps tendon comes away, completely or partially, from its attachment in front of the elbow. We explain how to recognise it, what to do and how we help you recover, before and after surgery.
