Naturally he could not play tennis any more because grasping the rack et was impossible. He thought at first it was a small fracture or chip off the. bone, but several X-rays taken in many posi tions failed to show any such disease. Finally, after several weeks of trying to get better with mild treatments, he decided to have it opened up sur gically. One of his friends did the work for him and it was done under local anaesthesia. He insisted on this so that he could look into the joint himself. The only thing that Was found was chronic inflammation with a thickened bursa just under the in sertion of the extensor carpi radialis longior muscle. This bursa was re moved and the patient recovered. During his convalescence he found a number of people who had had the same thing, and described It under the name of “tennis elbow”.
