The elbow is the joint is formed by three long bones humerus, radius, and ulna in the middle portion of the arm. The elbow is a hinge joint but also allows medial and lateral rotation. A fluid-filled sac, the olecranon bursa, serves to reduce friction and overlies the tip of the elbow. Two sides of elbow joints called medial and lateral epicondyles are affected by the injury resulting in the golfer's elbow and tennis elbow. Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), olecranon bursitis, elbow sprain, broken elbow, and arthritis of the elbow are major causes of elbow pain.
Diagnosing tennis elbow - The most common symptoms of tennis elbow include pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow, as well as weakness and difficulty gripping or lifting objects. The pain may worsen when gripping or lifting, or when twisting the forearm. Other similar actions like gardening, playing baseball, using a screwdriver, or overusing your wrist and arm also cause tennis elbow.
Elbow pain can be caused by many conditions. A common cause of elbow pain in adults is tendinitis. This is inflammation and injury to the tendons, which attach muscle to bone. People who play racquet sports are most likely to injure the tendons on the outside of the elbow resulting in tennis elbow pain. Those dealing with other racquet sports, bowling, football, archery, cricket, carpentry, plumbing, and raking are likely to injure the inner tendon resulting in the golfer's elbow pain. Other common elbow joint pain reasons of elbow pain are: bursitis, arthritis, elbow strains, infection of the elbow, and tendon tears -biceps rupture

Tennis elbow is also known as lateral epicondylitis, which is associated with outside elbow pain. The cause of tennis elbow is overuse of the muscles and tendons in the forearm and elbow, which can lead to small tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle (the bony bump on the outer part of the elbow). Tennis elbow is often associated with repetitive activities that involve gripping or twisting motions, such as playing tennis, golfing, or using a screwdriver. However, it can also occur in people who perform repetitive tasks at work or engage in other activities that strain the forearm and elbow.

Injury of the tendons on the inside of the elbow causes golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis. Golfer's elbow is characterized by tenderness over the inner elbow bony knob and inside elbow pain. It is felt more while bending the elbow. The inner joint of the elbow is not affected therefore the range of motion of the elbow is preserved. Those actions which require twisting or straining the forearm tendon can reproduce the pain and worsen the pain. Causes of golfer's elbow are golf, tennis and other racquet sports, bowling, football, archery, cricket, carpentry, plumbing, and raking. Golfer's elbow causes are avoidable factors.
