Associated tenderness
Associated tenderness
A nearby structure can be more tender than the lesion itself. This occurs at :
* type 2 tennis elbow (origin of extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle) : posterior aspect of the epicondyle is more tender than the contractile structure itself. It may be tempting to focus the treatment towards that tender spot, but it is merely misleading.
* de Quervain's disease : the radial styloid process can also be more tender than the tendons in the first dorsal tunnel.
