management of medial epicondylitis involves RICE and avoidance of aggravating factors. Strapping, braces and taping may offer temporary relief. Patients should be referred for physiotherapy
there is no evidence for eccentric loading of the common flexor tendons; however because the pathology is identical to the more common lateral epicondylitis this would seem a prudent approach to physiotherapy
corticosteroid injections may be administered with an efficacy similar to that for lateral epicondylitis; however care must be taken to avoid damaging the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel.
