ABSTRACT

La epicondilitis medial tiene menor incidencia que la lateral, patología que ha sido principalmente descrita en estudios anatómicos y clínicos. La información sobre la epicondilitis lateral ha sido extrapolada a la epicondilitis medial. Se ha denominado a la epicondilitis medial como "codo de golfista", debido a la asociación con este deporte; sin embargo, se asocia mucho más a actividades laborales específicas. Es una patología que compromete el origen de los músculos de la parte medial del codo, conocidos como músculos flexopronadores, organizados así: pronator teres, flexor carpiradialis, palmarislongus, flexordigitorumsuperficialis y flexor carpiulnaris. El diagnóstico principalmente es clínico y se puede apoyar mediante imágenes diagnósticas. El manejo conservador es el más frecuente (85-90%), y los objetivos son mejoría del dolor y rehabilitación para una reincorporación a las actividades. En casos resistentes a tratamiento conservador, la cirugía es el último paso, preferiblemente resecando la zona afectada.


The medial epicondylitis has a smaller impact that the lateral, pathology that has mainly been described in anatomical study and clinical trials.

It is a pathology that commits the origin of the muscles of the medial elbow, known as flexopronator muscles, organized like this: pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmarislongus, flexordigitorumsuperficialis, flexor carpi ulnaris. The diagnosis is mainly clinical and can be supported by diagnostic images.
