In briel: Classic tennis elbow is the result of a pathological entity the authors call fibroangiomatous hyperplasia. Their conservative treatment program has resulted in a high success rate, and includes the following steps: (1) relieving inflammation and pain with rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and occasionally cortisone injections; (2) promoting the healing process with high-voltage galvanic stimulation; (3) exercises for strength, endurance, and flexibility in the arm and forearm; and (4) reducing the overload forces that caused the original injury by using a counterforce brace and modifying the player's technique and equipment. Surgery may be required as a last resort in patients with chronic symptoms.
