Metabolic reason for bone and joint pain: A clinical and radiology differential diagnosis perspective
for physiotherapists
Harish S Krishna
Malabar Medical College, India
T
he first line physiotherapy diagnosis is to identify/rule out reasons/conditions which mimics bone and joint pain (global
differential diagnosis), e.g., hematological, oncology, metabolic, immunological, etc. once ruled out the next level of
diagnosis is to identify the pain producing anatomical structures (anatomical differential diagnosis), then search for the
possible causes for its dysfunction. Among the vast spectrum of global differential diagnosing conditions, metabolic reasons
are common to be seen, confusing to identify. The clinical part of the talk covers the clinical tips which helps in diagnosing
metabolic bone/joint pain by understanding in depth of its nature, type behavior, etc. and its comparison with mechanical pain.
The radiology part will be dealing with spine and extremity changes as seen in X-ray and MRI in cold orthopedic conditions as
well post-operative ones which as a physiotherapist have to look out for a safe and quality treatment. The end-note of the talk
consists of the recent evidence based physiotherapy management for metabolic pain.
