Codo de tenista
Nombres alternativos:
Bursitis epitroclear; Epicondilitis lateral; Epicondilitis humeral
SÃntomas:
- Dolor de codo que empeora gradualmente
- Dolor que se irradia hacia el antebrazo y dorso de la mano al sujetar o torcer algo
- Debilidad al asir los objetos
Signos y exámenes:
El diagnóstico se realiza sobre la base de signos y sÃntomas clÃnicos puesto que las radiografÃas generalmente son normales. A menudo, se presenta dolor o sensibilidad cuando se presiona ligeramente el tendón cerca del sitio en donde se fija al húmero, por encima de la parte exterior del codo.
También se presenta dolor cerca del codo cuando se extiende la muñeca (doblada hacia atrás como cuando se acelera una motocicleta) en contra de la resistencia.
