Female Athlete Triad: At Breaking Point

A 29 year old female (Ms. Jones) presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with left lower leg pain which developed while she was out running the previous day. The triage nurse streamed the patient to the Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner (RANP) (Appendix 1) in the ambulatory care area (ACA) for assessment. The patient was mobilising independently with a fluid gait.
