Lateral epicondylitis, or 'tennis elbow', is a common condition that usually affects patients between 35 and 55 years of age. It is generally self-limiting, but in some patients it may continue to cause persistent symptoms, which can be refractory to treatment. This review discusses the mechanism of disease, symptoms and signs, investigations, current management protocols and potential new treatments.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how the anconeus muscle activates during gripping in individuals with Lateral Epicondyle Tendinopathy (LET), who often experience pain and weakened grip.
- Participants with LET showed increased activation of the anconeus compared to forearm muscles during gripping, indicating a possible compensatory mechanism.
- Understanding these changes in muscle activation can help explain the gripping difficulties associated with LET and may lead to better treatment strategies.
