title: The office diagnosis and documentation of common knee problems.
abstract: In this article, I have presented the office physical examination of the knee, emphasized the implication of these physical tests as they relate to primary and secondary restraints, and reported on the preliminary work of the International Documentation Committee (ESKA-AOSSM). A standardized method of physical examination and documentation will assist in the evaluation and critique of our results, and will provide the methodology to compare our results with others.
