The Importance of History and Physical in Orthopedic Injuries
Anton Ciel: The majority of patients we see with orthopedic injuries don't have anything too serious. But it's that tiny sliver of patients, say, two or three or four and a hundred that have subtle findings on history or physical or x-ray that have a really bad injury. And we're not great at picking these up. So I think what happens is we've become too dependent on an x-ray and we treat MSK patients differently than we treat patients who have chest pain or abdominal pain or fever. We need to just do a history of physical before we do a test.
