The musculoskeletal examination may vary widely in its objectives and content. It may be part of a comprehensive physical examination, or may be directed toward evaluation of problems localized to a specific area. The basic screening examination, medical interview and history will be considered in this article, as well as some resources for reviewing the more focused evaluation of particular problem areas.
