Answer: C - Pain produced by wrist extension is not true about “valgus extension overload syndrome”.

Valgus extension overload syndrome is common in sports which involve more throwing activity where the posterior elbow pain is common.

Valgus extension snap maneuver is done by placing a valgus stress on the elbow followed by snapping the elbow to extension. Reproduction of pain indicates valgus extension overload syndrome.

In lateral epicondylitis, pain is typically produced during the wrist extension.
