title: Tennis elbow in aviators.
abstract: Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is described in three aviators. In two of the three aviators, the tennis elbow was felt to be caused by duties involving flight operations and resulted in temporary suspension from flight operations. Relief of the symptoms was obtained with conservative therapy. The symptomatology, predisposing factors, physical findings, treatment, and prevention of tennis elbow are discussed.
