Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a prevalent condition that affects the tendons on the outer side of the elbow. The annual incidence ranges from 2.4 to 4.5 per 1000 people [1]. Despite its association with tennis, this condition can impact individuals of various backgrounds, particularly those engaged in repetitive arm motions or activities that strain the forearm muscles. Other risk factors include female sex, dominant-side involvement, and manual labor [2].
