Abstract

Common flexor-pronator tendon injuries and medial epicondylitis can be successfully treated nonoperatively in most cases. Operative treatment is reserved for patients with continued symptoms despite adequate nonoperative treatment or in high-level athletes with complete rupture of the common flexor-pronator tendon. The physical examination and workup of patients with flexor-pronator tendon injuries should focus on related or concomitant pathologies of the medial elbow. The gold standard for surgical treatment of flexor-pronator tendon ruptures or medial epicondylitis includes tendon debridement and reattachment.
