Abstract
The speculated pathological causes of tennis elbow and the part work might play in its causation are briefly reviewed. The excellent surgical results, whatever operative technique was employed in those surgical series reported prior to the wave of work-related upper limb disorders is noted. One hundred and eight consecutive patients with tennis elbow who were also litigants (seeking compensation) were reviewed and the result of treatment and specifically surgery, analysed. Disappointing results of surgery were found in litigants and recommendations are made as to the management of litigants epicondylitis.
