Abstract des Autors

Primary care physicians are being called on more frequently to treat patients who have musculoskeletal injuries. This article discusses mechanisms of injury, diagnosis, and treatment, with emphasis on determining when to refer patients to an orthopedist. Discussed here are several types of knee injuries that require referral, including extensor mechanism injuries, most subluxations and dislocations, ligament injuries, and meniscus injuries.
