In season 3 I am going to try to pass on some orthopedic knowledge to non-orthopedic health care providers.
It has been shown that the MSK knowledge coming out of medical school is poor, yet a high number of visits in the office and ER are for orthopedic problems.
Here I am starting with non-traumatic knee pain in patients over 50. I will attempt to cover other common presenting diagnoses in future episodes.
The recommended xrays:
1. Standing (Weight Bearing) AP
2. Rosenberg view (Standing flexed knee PA)
3. Lateral
4. Merchant or sunrise view of the patella
