It is important to choose the department to visit based on the patient’s specific medical history and symptoms.
If a patient presents with thigh pain accompanied by low back pain, he or she may be seen in orthopaedics. A clear history of trauma and suspected fracture may also be seen in orthopaedics. Patients presenting with localised numbness itching and coldness, suspected to be lateral femoral cutaneous nerve impingement syndrome, should be seen in neurology.
