Medial epicondylitis, also known as golfer's elbow, is caused by overuse of the muscles that flex the wrist and fingers. The pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, and flexor carpi ulnaris all have origins on or near the medial epicondyle of the humerus, which is why this condition affects these muscles. Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) affects the extensor muscles and is located on the outside of the elbow. Medial valgus stress overload is a condition that can lead to elbow injuries in baseball pitchers. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves compression of the median nerve in the wrist and causes a different set of symptoms.
