The work up of indication is the aim of each thorough examination. Using the example of the knee joint, we subdivide into five group of diagnosis: anterior knee pain (femoropatellar syndrome), intraarticular derangement, osteoarthritis, infectious and rheumatoid arthritis, forms of bursitis and tendinitis. Clinical signs, diagnosis and natural history are listed, which present the basis of indication.
