Epitrochlear bursitis is inflammation of a serous sac (bursa) located on the inner side of the elbow, near the medial epicondyle, a structure that helps cushion the movement of the joint.

Common causes: It is usually related to repetitive movements, overload of the elbow, prolonged support of the area, or small traumas accumulated over time.

Common symptoms: It can cause localized pain in the inner part of the elbow, swelling, tenderness to the touch, and discomfort when moving or resting the arm.

Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist, the sports medicine physician, or the physical therapist can evaluate this condition. If the elbow pain persists or limits your movements, a professional evaluation helps identify the cause and guide the care.
