Incidence of Incidental Musculoskeletal Injury on Lower Extremity Doppler Ultrasound in the Emergency Versus Non‐Emergency Settings
MSK pathology of the lower leg is significantly more likely to contribute to lower extremity symptoms in the ED compared to a non-ED setting. Therefore, a brief sonographic evaluation of the MSK apparatus may be beneficial in a subset of ED patients, particularly those with focal pain but no identifiable thrombotic etiology.
