“This book discusses the definition, history, and treatment of tennis elbow/lateral epicondylitis with an emphasis on evidence-based medicine when available. … The intended audience appears to be healthcare providers who manage patients with tennis elbow. The book is an excellent source of information for primary care providers and physical therapists, a wonderful review for sports medicine and orthopedic surgeons, and is a good introduction for students.” (Melissa Anne Novak, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2015)
