  1. The answer is the fourth one: Tennis elbow.

Explanation:

  • Ankylosis: This refers to the stiffness or fusion of a joint, not a tear of tendons.
  • Gout: This is a type of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness in the joints, often the big toe, not related to tendon tears.
  • Subluxation: This is a partial dislocation of a joint, not a tear of tendons.
  • Tennis elbow: This is a condition caused by the overuse of the elbow, leading to a tear of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow.
  1. The word part "Bucco-" means "cheek."
