Abstract
Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) is an overuse injury of the common extensor tendon that occurs in active people. Modifiable risk factors include repetitive movements of the elbow, forearm, and hand, and tasks like handling heavy tools, which may overload the tendon. The clinical course of LET varies considerably. Some people experience a single, brief episode of symptoms, whereas others have persistent or recurring episodes of LET. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(1):5-6. doi:10.2519/jospt.2023.0501</i>.
