Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tennis elbow is a type of tenosynovitis, which is inflammation of the tendon sheaths and synovial membranes surrounding tendons. Repetitive motions can cause this condition. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints. Ankylosing spondylitis, gouty arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis are all types of inflammatory arthritis, but they do not specifically involve the elbow joint.
