It is indeed a pleasure to write the foreword to this useful book which describes the most commonly used orthopedic clinical diagnostic tests to assist a wide audience within the medical world. The organization of this book is easy to follow and logical. Each chapter begins with the patient’s initial presentation, which is followed by an outline of the need to take account of speci? c variables in arriving at a differential diagnosis.

For ease of reference, all the chapters are similarly structured. Its style is simple and uncluttered, offering a step-by-step approach and avoiding overlong explanations. All in all, this book ful? lls the criteria of a reference book, a practical guide, and a succinct aide memoire for those preparing for exams. It is truly a text for everyone who must conduct orthopedic examinations, including medical students, general practitioners, and orthopedic residents.

Clinical diagnosis in orthopedic pain conditions can be mysterious, especially when many conditions mimic each other in the same region. An unusual manifestation delays diagnosis, and increases complications, worsening the patient’s condition. This book highlights the need for a change in our method of clinical practice, both in primary care and specialist care. Dr. Kumaravel has updated methods in diagnosing orthopedic conditions and has structured the chapters so that in a region of pain, both local and transmitted pain are considered. A simple approach of considering the different conditions in tables and flow charts will help young orthopedic surgeons to discover what they are dealing with. i.e., If there is pain, then where did it arise? What is the list of conditions one needs to consider? What can it mimic? What do they need to be differentiated from? Never missing a diagnosis can’t be more emphasized. Because knowing what condition one is dealing with solves 99% of the problem, while treating it is only the remaining 1%. Knowledge is power. Readers can apply these to their patients and plan the treatment accordingly. This well-structured book for orthopedic pain makes learning orthopedics entertaining and assists clinicians in giving correct and quick care.
