Student's Elbow

Ok, so most of us knows about tennis elbow, which in medical term, it's lateral epicondylitis. This is due to the repeated forceful extension of the wrist as in a backhand stroke which result in pain and point tenderness at the insertion of the common tendon of the superficial extensors of the forearm on the lateral epicondyle.

But do you know there is a student's elbow? Which is the inflammation of the olecranon bursa caused by the repeated excessive rubbing or fiction of the elbow on desk top.

Ok, enough of medical terms for everyone, it's time for me to go back to studying for my anatomy exam on Tuesday!
