title: Evaluation of knee pain.
abstract: Most knee problems are seen first by the patient's primary physician who is thus in a unique position to intervene effectively. This article will emphasize the initial evaluation of patients with nontraumatic disorders of the knee, in which early recognition and therapeutic intervention is most likely to be beneficial.
