Epicondylitis (commonly referred to as tennis elbow) was a medical condition where the outer part of the elbow became painful and tender.

Guinan sought treatment from Dr. Beverly Crusher for the condition in 2369 as a ruse to counsel Dr. Crusher, who was relieved of duty while investigating the suspicious death of Ferengi scientist Dr. Reyga. (TNG: "Suspicions")

In 2371, Lieutenant Walter Baxter was in USS Voyager's sickbay being treated for localized tenderness to his ulna bone by The Doctor after working out in the ship's gymnasium. He asked Kes, who was in training to become a nurse, for a possible diagnosis. One of the possibilities she suggested was epicondylitis. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle")
