Cervical radiculopathy has been associated with lateral epicondylitis, but few associations between the cervical spine and medial epicondylitis have been made. Researchers propose that there is an association, suggesting that the weakness and imbalance in the elbow flexor and extensor muscles from C6 and C7 radiculopathy allow for easy onset of medial epicondylitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Hypothesis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medial epicondylitis will present in over half the patients diagnosed with C6 and C7 radiculopathy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 102 patients initially presenting with upper extremity or neck symptoms were diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy.

Data were collected by referring to patient charts from February 2008 until June 2009.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty-five patients were diagnosed with medial epicondylitis. Of these, 44 had C6 and C7 radiculopathy whereas 11 presented with just C6 radiculopathy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medial epicondylitis presented with cervical radiculopathy in slightly more than half the patients. Weakening of the flexor carpi radialis and pronator teres and imbalance of the flexor and extensor muscles from the C6 and C7 radiculopathy allow for easy onset of medial epicondylitis. Patients with medial epicondylitis should be examined for C6 and C7 radiculopathy to ensure proper treatment. Physicians dealing with golfers, pitchers, or other patients with medial epicondylitis should be aware of the association between these 2 diagnoses to optimize care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1941738109357304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,29]],"date-time":"2009-12-29T20:45:26Z","timestamp":1262119526000},"page":"334-336","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["The Prevalence of Medial Epicondylitis Among Patients With C6 and C7 Radiculopathy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Aaron Taylor","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayse L.","family":"Lee-Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1941738109357304","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0712(21)01042-8"},{"key":"bibr2-1941738109357304","unstructured":"Braddom RL, Buschbacher RM, Dumitru D, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
