TENNIS ELBOW
[By A Physician.]
Certain out-of-door sports which involve much use of one group of muscles and joints have injuries peculiar to themselves, such as the “ golf shoulder” and the “tennis elbow.” Tennis elbow is not always easy to put right. There are at least two distinct types. One is quite definitely a displaced cartilage and the other is a synovitis of the joint. A dull, aching pain, becoming acute when the joint is used, is typical of the condition. The injury is always found in the same place at the outer side of the elbow, or, to put a little more technically, at the place where the head of the radius joins the upper arm bone. If the cartilage has been displaced, a skilled manipulator can put it back with ease. If the joint is sprained, rest with electrical treatment and massage later will he necessary., In both cases you must stop playing until the injury has been put right.
