MSK for PCPs: An evidence-based clinical reference text for common musculoskeletal presentations
By Malinda Hansen, DO, MS, CAQSM, ’15, ATSU-SOMA
Mill City Press Inc., June 2023
Written for those in primary care, Dr. Hansen compiled a 100% evidence-based clinical reference guide of musculoskeletal exams and algorithms for workup. Flow charts help navigate which pathologies may be most likely for common clinical presentations, and the table of contents directs readers to differential diagnoses, provocative exams, workup, and nonoperative and operative considerations. With only information and algorithms found in the literature, readers have decision-making autonomy with solid references to the management necessary for each clinical presentation.
