Özet

Objective: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a clinical syndrome with symptoms of polycythemia that may interfere with other nonspecific diseases. The current study aimed to investigate the symptoms of patients living at high altitudes, who initially presented complaints that seemed to be common orthopedic problems, and to examine their relationship with chronic mountain sickness.
