Goals By end of his course, students will have demonstrated the ability to: Demonstrate essential knowledge required to diagnose, initially manage and to know when to immediately refer a patient with a condition that requires urgent specialist management. Demonstrate knowledge to specify the symptoms, signs and immediate complications; to outline the assessment and appropriate investigation and; to outline the immediate and long term management of patients with common and community related orthopedic conditions and musculoskeletal trauma. To take a relevant and a focused MSK history in the knowledge of the characteristics of the major conditions of: bone; joints; connective tissue; nerve tissue and; muscle tissue. To perform a focused physical examination of major joints (shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle, PN and spine) To order and to demonstrate an appropriate use and interpretation of appropriate investigations including: radiography, CT/MRI/bone scan, MSK U/S, serology, synovial fluid analysis, and EMG/NCS. The ability to perform a common non-surgical orthopaedic procedures like joint aspirations and ability to apply and remove a cast.

27
ORTHOEADIC HISTORY TAKING
28
History taking skills History taking is the most important step in making a diagnosis A clinician is 60% closer to making a diagnosis with a thorough history. The remaining 40% is a combination of examination findings and investigations History taking can either be of a traumatic or non-traumatic injury
29
Objective At the end of this session, students should be able and know how to take a MSK relevant history
30
Competency expected from the students
Take a relevant history, with the knowledge of the characteristics of the major musculoskeletal conditions
31
STRUCTURE OF HISTORY Demographic features Chief complaint
History of presenting illness MOI Functional level MSK systemic review Systemic enquiry PMH PSH Drug Hx Occupational Hx Allergy Family Hx Social Hx
32
MSK systemic review Pain Stiffness Swelling Instability Deformity Limp
Altered Sensation Loss of function Weakness
33
Pain Location Point to where it is Radiation
Does the pain go anywhere else Type (nature) Burning, sharp, dull How long have you had the pain How did it start (on set) Injury Mechanism of injury How was it treated? Insidious
34
Pain Progression Is it getting worse or is it remaining stable
Is it better, worse or the same When Mechanical / Walking Rest Night nocte Constant Aggravating & Relieving Factors Stairs Start up, mechanical Pain with twisting & turning Up & down hills Kneeling Squatting
35
Pain Where: location/radiation When: onset/duration
Quality: what it feels like Quantity: intensity, degree of disability Aggravating and Alleviating factors Associated symptoms WWQQAA
36
Swelling Duration Local vs generalised Onset
Constant or comes and goes Progression: same size or↑ Aggravated and relived factors Associated with injury or reactive Soft tissue, joint, bone Rapidly or slowly Painful or not
37
Instability Onset How dose it start? Any Hx of trauma? Frequency
Trigger/aggravated factors True = Giving way Buckling 2dary to pain I can not trust my leg! Associated symptoms Swelling Pain
38
Deformity When did you notice it? Progressive or not?
Associated with symptoms like pain & stiffness Impaired function or not? Past Hx of trauma or surgery PMHx (neuromuscular,,etc)
39
Limping Painful vs painless Onset (acute or chronic)
Progressive or not? Use walking aid? Functional disability? Traumatic or non traumatic? Associated with swelling, deformity, or fever.

44
Current and previous history of treatment
Nonoperative Medications Analgesia How much How long Physio Orthotics Walking sticks Splints Operative What, where and when? Perioperative complications
45
Knee Pain Location Type How long have you had the pain
point to where it is radiation does the pain go anywhere else Type Burning, sharp, dull How long have you had the pain How did it start Injury Mechanism of injury Position of leg at time of injury Direct / indirect Audible POP Could you play on or did you leave the field? ACL Did it swell at the time Immediately Haemathrosis Delayed Traumatic synovitis How was it treated? Insidious Progression Is it getting worse or is it remaining stable Is it better, worse or the same When Mechanical / Walking Rest Nocte constant Aggravating & Relieving Factors stairs start up, mechanical pain with twisting & turning up & down hills kneeling squatting
46
Spine Pain radiation exact location L4 L5 S1
Aggravating and relieving factors Neuropathic extension & walking downhill walking uphill & sitting vascular walking uphill generates more work rest standing is better than sitting due to pressure gradient stairs shopping trolleys coughing, straining sitting forward flexion
47
Spine Associated symptoms Red Flags Paresthesia Numbness Weakness
Bowel, Bladder Cervical myelopathy Clumbsiness of hand Unsteadiness Manual dexterity Red Flags Loss of weight Constitutional symptoms Fevers, sweats Night pain, rest pain History of trauma immunosuppresion
48
Shoulder Age of the patient Mechanism of injury
Younger patients - shoulder instability and acromioclavicular joint injuries are more prevalent Older patients - rotator cuff injuries and degenerative joint problems are more common Mechanism of injury Abduction and external rotation - dislocation of the shoulder Direct fall onto the shoulder - acromioclavicular joint injuries Chronic pain upon overhead activity or at night time - rotator cuff problem.
49
Shoulder Pain anterolateral & superior deltoid insertion
Where Rotator Cuff anterolateral & superior deltoid insertion Bicipital tendonitis Referred to elbow Aggravating / Relieving factors Position that ↑ symptoms RC: Window cleaning position Instability: when arm is overhead Neck pain Is shoulder pain related to neck pain ask about radiculopathy
50
Shoulder Causes AC joint Cervical Spine
Glenohumeral joint & rotator cuff Front & outer aspect of joint Radiates to middle of arm Rotator cuff impingement Positional : appears in the window cleaning position Instability Comes on suddenly when the arm is held high overhead Referred pain Mediastinal disorders, cardiac ischaemia
51
Shoulder Loss of function Home Dressing Coat Bra Grooming Toilet
Associated Stiffness Instability / Gives way Severe – feeling of joint dislocating Usually more subtle presenting with clicks/jerks What position Initial trauma How often Ligamentous laxity Clicking, Catching / grinding If so, what position Weakness Rotator cuff especially if large tear Pins & needles, numbness Loss of function Home Dressing Coat Bra Grooming Toilet Brushing hair Lift objects Difficulty working with arm above shoulder height Top shelves Hanging washing Work Sport
