is one of the most common causes of anterior knee pain encountered in the outpatient setting in adolescents and adults younger than 60 years.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS)
The cardinal feature of PFPS is
pain in or around the anterior knee that intensifies when the knee is flexed during weight-bearing activities.
The pain of PFPS often worsens/improves? with prolonged sitting or descending stairs. The most sensitive physical examination finding is______________
The pain of PFPS often worsens with prolonged sitting or descending stairs. The most sensitive physical examination finding is pain with squatting.
Plain radiographs for diagnosis of PFPS?
Plain radiographs of the knee are not necessary for the diagnosis of PFPS but can exclude other diagnoses, such as osteoarthritis, patellar fracture, and osteochondritis.
treatment of PFPS?
Treatment of PFPS includes rest, a short course of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and physical therapy directed at strengthening the hip flexor, trunk, and knee muscle groups. Patellar kinesiotaping may provide additional short-term pain relief; however, evidence is insufficient to support its routine use. Surgery is considered a last resort.
level of recommendation
Exercise therapies are most effective in improving short- and long-term pain in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
A
level of recommendation:
Short courses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs improve pain in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome compared with placebo, but the effect may be limited to one week.
B
level of recommendation:
Patellar kinesiotaping improves patellar maltracking and may reduce short-term pain as an adjunct to exercise.

Common acute shoulder injuries include
- acromioclavicular joint injuries,
- clavicle fractures,
- glenohumeral dislocations,
- proximal humerus fractures,

Acromioclavicular joint injuries and clavicle fractures mostly occur in
young adults as the result of a sports injury or direct trauma.
Most nondisplaced or minimally displaced injuries can be treated _________

Glenohumeral dislocations can result from _______________.
Patients will usually hold the affected arm in their contralateral hand and have pain with ____ and ______ motion at the shoulder.
Physical findings may include a ________________ or ____________________
Glenohumeral dislocations can result from contact sports, falls, bicycle accidents, and similar high-impact trauma.
Patients will usually hold the affected arm in their contralateral hand and have pain with motion and decreased motion at the shoulder.
Physical findings may include a palpable humeral head in the axilla or a dimple inferior to the acromion laterally.
Reduction maneuvers usually require ____________
intra-articular lidocaine or intravenous analgesia.
Proximal humerus fractures often occur in _________________
Most of these fractures can be managed nonoperatively, using a sling, early range-of-motion exercises, and strength training.
older patients after a low-energy fall.
Most of these fractures can be managed nonoperatively, using a sling, early range-of-motion exercises, and strength training.
Radiography of the shoulder should include a true anteroposterior view of the(3)

- and axillary view.
Rotator cuff tears can cause difficulty with ____________ or pain that ________________.
On physical examination, patients may be _____________________________
Rotator cuff tears can cause difficulty with overhead activities or pain that awakens the patient from sleep.
On physical examination, patients may be unable to hold the affected arm in an elevated position.
level of recommendation:
Decisions about conservative vs. surgical treatment of acute middle one-third clavicle fractures should be individualized, considering the relative benefits and harms of each intervention and patient preferences.
B
level of recommendation:
Surgery should be considered in young athletes with shoulder dislocations because of a high recurrence rate in these patients
B
level of recommendation:
Older patients with proximal humerus fractures can be treated nonoperatively because these patients have equivalent or better outcomes compared with those who have surgery.
B
level of recommendation:
The effectiveness and safety of surgery for chronic rotator cuff disease in older patients are unclear.

physicians can use the five A’s framework to promote smoking cessation.
- ask,
- advise,
- assess,
- assist,
- arrange
Office systems should ensure that all tobacco users are identified; smoking status should be documented at every visit
ask
Unambiguous support for smoking cessation should be expressed by the physician, and the benefits of quitting should be discussed
advise
Willingness to quit and barriers to quitting should be assessed, as well as smoking history and current level of nicotine dependence; patients should be asked about their timeline for quitting and about previous attempts
assess
Offer support and additional resources (e.g., referral to counseling, http://www.smokefree.gov, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, pharmacotherapy); help patients to anticipate difficulties and encourage them to prepare their social support systems and their environment for the impending change
Withdrawal: Common nicotine withdrawal symptoms (e.g., irritability, anxiety, restlessness) peak within the first week of abstinence and last two to four weeks; NRTs can be helpful because they gradually decrease nicotine dependence; smokers should also be advised to decrease caffeine intake*
Depression: Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to have a depressive episode,12 and smokers with depression are less likely to successfully quit13; smoking cessation may trigger depression in those with a history of depression14; physicians should consider monitoring the mood of smokers during quit attempts and screen for depression in those who have repeatedly been unable to quit; bupropion (Zyban) may be an appropriate cessation aid for smokers at risk of depressive relapse
Weight gain: Although most smokers gain fewer than 10 lb (4.5 kg) after quitting, weight gain can vary (10 percent will gain 30 lb [13.5 kg])15; although this weight gain poses less health risk than smoking, concern about weight gain may interfere with the quit attempt; sustained-release bupropion or an NRT (particularly gum or lozenges) may be helpful in these patients because they delay weight gain while in use4; it may be easier to monitor and adjust food intake/exercise balance after immediate tobacco cravings are no longer as prominent
Assist
Follow-up plans should be set; for patients who have recently quit, it is important to elicit the benefits of quitting and ask patients to anticipate and problem solve about situations that might lead to relapse; follow-up contacts should also be used to readjust the dosages of therapeutic agents that may be altered by smoking cessation (e.g., beta blockers, antipsychotics, insulin, benzodiazepines)*
Arrange
No intention to take action within the foreseeable future (next six months)
Pre-contemplation
Considering change within the next six months
Contemplation
Planning to take action within the next month
Preparation
Actively changing (first six months of new behavior)

Nausea, intense dreams, agitation, SI
side effects of bupropion

side effects NRT
headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, skin irritation, sore throat, bad taste
smoking cessation match:
unknown– an antidepressant which seems to reduce pyshcological craving of smoking
bupropion
smoking cessation match:
nicotine partial agonist, binds receptors so that empty receptors dont trigger cravings and so nicotine that is used has no physical effect. works by reducing cravings and taking the fun out of smoking
chantix
smoking cessation match:
nicotine replacement to allow breaking the mental habit while not suffering nicotine withdrawal. Then gradually decrease the amount of nicotine
