Electrodiagnostic studies may help orthopaedic surgeons to identify and confirm nerve pathology, determine severity of disease, localize the lesion, identify concomitant or alternative pathology, and prognosticate potential outcomes with nonoperative or operative treatment. Surgeons should recognize the indications for electrodiagnostic studies, principles of their performance, and how to assess the primary data generated by the examination and how it can inform their treatment plans.
电诊断研究有助于骨科医生识别和确认神经病变，确定疾病严重程度，定位病变，识别合并或替代病变，并预测非手术或手术治疗的潜在结果。外科医生应认识到电诊断研究的适应症、其操作原则，以及如何评估检查产生的主要数据及其如何为治疗计划提供依据。
