Activities that can lead to golfer's elbow include:
Understanding Hammertoes -- Diagnosis and Treatment
A thorough medical exam will tell whether you have a hammertoe. Usually an X-ray is part of this exam to assess the extent of the deformity. A hammer toe occurs from a muscle and ligament imbalance around the toe joint which causes the middle toe joint to bend and become stuck in this position. The most common complaint with hammertoes is rubbing and irritation on the top of the bent toe.

You may also bring on golfer's elbow by using the wrong equipment, like a golf club or tennis racket that is too heavy or that has a grip that is too large. Bad technique -- like using the wrong posture for a swing -- can also lead to golfer's elbow.
