This review discusses the prevalence of tennis injuries, the biomechanical demands of tennis strokes, the kinetic chain of the tennis serve, as well as specific injuries seen in the tennis player. Specific areas of injury discussed are the shoulder, elbow, wrist, abdomen, back, hip, knee, ankle, and pediatric-specific pathologies.
