Joint Pain Diagnosis: A Crucial Aspect of Orthopedic Care

Joint pain can have numerous causes, and in many cases, there is an underlying orthopedic problem. However, sometimes joint pain arises spontaneously, and it’s only after thorough examinations and treatments that the patient is diagnosed with a rheumatic disease.

This can lead to treacherous pitfalls for orthopedically oriented (para)medicians, and it’s not uncommon for the correct diagnosis to be made too late. As a result, it’s essential for (para)medicians to have some knowledge of rheumatic disorders, enabling them to quickly refer patients to a rheumatologist if suspected.
