Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is angiofibrous dysplasia of the common extensor origin. Treatment consists of brac ing, activity modification, injection (with some centres using platelet-rich plasma) and surgery if conservative measures fail. Partial ruptures of the calf muscles, especially the medial head of the gastrocnemius, are also found in tennis players (called tennis leg), and in patients who take part in other sports requiring sudden extreme acceleration.
