No hace falta que sea un jugador de tenis para tener codo de tenista. Se produce cuando los tendones del codo se inflaman. Esta inflamación ocurre por el uso excesivo de los tendones al hacer actividades que requieren movimientos repetitivos. Un golpe directo en el codo también puede aumentar las posibilidades de tener codo de tenista, aunque no suele ser frecuente. El codo es la unión del húmero, el hueso grande en la parte superior del brazo, con el radio y el cúbito, dos huesos en la parte inferior del brazo o el antebrazo. A cada lado y casi sobre la punta del codo, hay dos protuberancias llamadas epicóndilos laterales. El término médico para codo de tenista es epicondilitis lateral.
