Abstract:
Evaluation of knee problems is common in primary care. A basic understanding of relevant anatomy as well as clinical and diagnostic tests can assist the primary care practitioner (PCP) in determining the correct diagnosis, deciding whether to refer, and ordering appropriate treatment. Specific clinical tests, common causes of knee pain, and appropriate workup are reviewed, along with initial primary care treatment.
