This condition follows a similar pattern to tennis elbow but has the added complication of the close association of the ulnar nerve to the affected area. There are two main patterns of golfer’s elbow, those with no nerve involvement and those who have symptoms of numbness or weakness in the forearm and hand, particularly affecting the ring and little fingers.

Treatment is similar to tennis elbow with a graduated approach using rest, splintage, physiotherapy and surgery with the slight difference that where the ulnar nerve is also involved, the nerve should be explored and decompressed as required.
