Golferโ€™s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Tests
Golferโ€™s Elbow is a common overuse injury affecting the flexor muscles of the forearm where they attach to the medial epicondyle of the elbow. Clinical assessment includes resisted wrist flexion, resisted forearm pronation, passive wrist extension stretch, medial epicondyle palpation, and grip strength testing. A positive test typically reproduces pain or tenderness over the inner side of the elbow. Common symptoms include pain during gripping, lifting, wrist flexion, reduced grip strength, and elbow stiffness. Early diagnosis and appropriate rehabilitation can help restore function and reduce pain.

When a patient has pain on the outer side of the knee with popping, catching or a feeling of instability, the first thoughts are often:

โ€ข Lateral meniscus injury
โ€ข IT Band Syndrome
โ€ข LCL injury

But an overlooked structure can sometimes be responsible:

The PTFJ is a small synovial joint between the fibular head and lateral tibia, located just below the lateral knee. Although small, it contributes to lower-limb biomechanics and helps accommodate rotational forces transmitted between the ankle and knee.

โ€ข Localized pain around the fibular head
โ€ข Lateral or posterolateral knee discomfort
โ€ข Pain may radiate toward the lateral calf or ankle
โ€ข Tenderness directly over the PTFJ
โ€ข Sometimes associated with clicking, popping or a sense of instability

Potential contributors include:

โ€ข Previous ankle or knee trauma
โ€ข Twisting injuries
โ€ข Recurrent subluxation/dislocation
โ€ข Generalized ligamentous laxity
โ€ข Repetitive rotational loading
โ€ข Degenerative changes of the joint

โœ”๏ธ Pain reproduced by palpating the fibular head

โœ”๏ธ Pain or abnormal movement with PTFJ mobilization

โœ”๏ธ Popping or excessive fibular-head movement compared with the opposite side

โœ”๏ธ Symptoms may be reproduced while combining PTFJ loading with ankle movement.

PTFJ dysfunction/instability
๐Ÿ“ Pain is often maximal around the fibular head
๐Ÿ”„ Popping or instability may be prominent
๐Ÿฆต Symptoms can be influenced by ankle and tibiofibular mechanics

Lateral meniscus pathology
๐Ÿ“ More typical joint-line tenderness
๐Ÿ”’ May produce catching/locking
๐Ÿ’ง Joint effusion may occur

A careful examination is essential because PTFJ instability is uncommon and can be mistaken for lateral meniscal pathology.
