Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common overuse injury characterized by pain and tenderness on the lateral aspect of the elbow, primarily affecting the extensor tendons, particularly the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB).  risk factors associated with the development of tennis elbow: Age: The peak incidence of tennis elbow occurs between 40 to 50 years of age. In women aged 42 to 46, the incidence can rise to about 10% 2. This age-related risk could be due to degenerative changes in the tendons and muscles as people age, leading to a higher vulnerability to injuries.
