But what do these tests really tell you and how can you use these simple test results to accurately find the right patient diagnosis? Simple tests at the knee might appear just that, simple, but, they can give you highly important information you need to find the right patient problems and ensure you are treating the source and not just the site of your patient's symptoms.
