Clinical diagnosis in orthopedic pain conditions can be mysterious, especially when many conditions mimic each other in the same region. An unusual manifestation delays diagnosis, and increases complications, worsening the patient’s condition. This book highlights the need for a change in our method of clinical practice, both in primary care and specialist care.
Dr. Kumaravel has updated methods in diagnosing orthopedic conditions and has structured the chapters so that in a region of pain, both local and transmitted pain are considered. A simple approach of considering the different conditions in tables and flow charts will help young orthopedic surgeons to discover what they are dealing with. i.e., If there is pain, then where did it arise? What is the list of conditions one needs to consider? What can it mimic? What do they need to be differentiated from?
Never missing a diagnosis can’t be more emphasized. Because knowing what condition one is dealing with solves 99% of the problem, while treating it is only the remaining 1%. Knowledge is power.
Readers can apply these to their patients and plan the treatment accordingly. This well-structured book for orthopedic pain makes learning orthopedics entertaining and assists clinicians in giving correct and quick care.
