Browne KLT et al. - Knee injuries are one of the most common reasons for a patient visit with a primary care provider. Acute or chronic knee pain also results in millions of patient visits each year. All clinicians should know how to perform a complete knee examination. Consistent use of a systematic knee examination allows PAs to be more confident in their ability to diagnose knee problems. A thorough knee history leads to an appropriate differential diagnosis, and a comprehensive physical examination leads to an accurate diagnosis. A discussion of treatment options can begin promptly. The patient will be grateful to know what is wrong, and treatment is more effective with timely initiation or prompt referral to an orthopedic surgeon.
