MSK for PCPs: An evidence-based clinical reference text for common musculoskeletal presentations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662872440)

Introduction To my primary care physicians, PA's, NP's, physical therapists, medical residents, and medical student friends, this is for you! This book is a clinical reference guide of musculoskeletal exams and algorithms for workup. The initial flow charts are designed for the common clinical presentations to help navigate which pathologies may be most likely, or, the table of contents to get you to the clinical information you need: differential diagnoses, provocative exams, workup, and non-operative and operative considerations. This clinical reference is 100% evidence based. If there was no significant evidence for an exam or treatment modality, it was not listed. The content in this text has no opinion, only information and algorithms found in the literature. There is plenty of room for your autonomy in decision making with solid references to back the management necessary for each clinical presentation. I know you will find this a helpful resource! Dr. Malinda Hansen has always had an enthusiasm for sports and competition. Starting out as a multi-sport athlete, playing Division I basketball, and running her own business for 15 years, she realized a gap in her training. That was rectified with a masters degree in exercise physiology which led to a pursuit of Osteopathic medicine as a career. Graduating from A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona, she completed her dual residency in Family medicine and Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal medicine in Fort Worth Texas. That opened a door to completing a sports medicine fellowship in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Hansen is triple boarded in family medicine, sports medicine, and Osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine. In her own words "This book is for all of my primary care friends that get lost in the co-morbid conditions and may have gotten a little rusty in their musculoskeletal exams and management."
