A successful office evaluation of a patient who presents with leg pain encompasses several factors and treatment decisions. Of course, the first goal of the evaluation is to determine the etiology of the leg pain. Following this, a complete history and physical examination is mandatory. Frequently at this point, additional imaging studies will become necessary. It is only at this point can various treatment options be explored. Clearly, the office evaluation of a patient with leg pain needs to be comprehensive. In addition, the initial evaluation establishes a relationship with the patient, one that will need to continue for some time even if a successful intervention is performed.
对出现腿部疼痛的患者进行成功的门诊评估涉及多个因素和治疗决策。当然,评估的首要目标是确定腿部疼痛的病因。在此之后,完整的病史和体格检查是必不可少的。通常在这个时候,就需要进行额外的影像学检查。只有到了这个阶段,才可以探索各种治疗方案。显然,对腿部疼痛患者的门诊评估需要全面。此外,初始评估建立了与患者的关系,即使进行了成功的干预,这种关系也需要持续一段时间。
