Improving your Orthopaedic Examination: What it means and what you might be missing

Despite advances in diagnostic technologies the single most important part of investigating orthopaedic disease is the orthopaedic examination. But what does finding pain associated with a particular structure actually tell us? This lecture hopes to provide you with insights to improve your physical examination as well as focusing on diseases that can be difficult to diagnoses or mimic other presentations.

• A better understanding of what a physical orthopaedic examination actually tells us
• An overview of diseases that can mimic other common presentations
• Tips on ‘What’s next’ in the orthopaedic work up.
