REVIEW ARTICLES
Exercise-Induced Leg Pain
Sifting Through a Broad Differential
Physicians investigating leg pain in active patients must consider a wide range of diagnoses, from acute musculoskeletal conditions to chronic vascular diseases. Targeted treatment depends on physicians' recognition of the distinct pain and imaging study patterns.
Michael Korkola, MD; Annunziato Amendola, MD
Disorders of Vascular Fragility
Implications for Active Patients
Vigorous exercise places demands on blood vessels, and some young, active patients have congenital vascular disorders that put them at risk for catastrophic exercise-related events. Understanding each patient's vulnerability helps physicians make recommendations for appropriate activities.
Reed E. Pyeritz, MD, PhD
CASE REPORT
