Key History andPhysical Exam
Various diagnostic tools can help differentiate types of alope­cia. A detailed history and physical examination will point to the diagnosis of most non-scarring and some scarring alope­cias, though a skin biopsy may be required.
History
• Description: duration (acute vs. chronic), location, degree
of hair loss, distribution (diffuse vs. patchy), symptoms including pruritus, redness, pain, or infection.
• Hair practices: tight ponytails, braids, weaves, use of “hot
combs,” chemical treatment.
• Recent changes to medications; chemotherapeutic agents.
• Medical problems: recent illnesses or surgeries, pregnancy,
thyroid disorder, iron deficiency, autoimmune disorders, malnutrition.
• Emotional or psychological stressors.
• Family history.
Physical Exam
1. Gross inspection of hair: (a) Generalized, patterned, or focal hair loss. (b) Density of hair, presence of broken hairs, vellus (thin,
downy premature hair) vs. terminal hairs (thick, strong mature hair).
2. Inspection of scalp: (a) Absence of follicular ostia and scar tissue: scarring
alopecias.
(b) Papules, pustules, scaling, perifollicular erythema.
3. Diagnostic procedures: (a) Hair pull test (useful for telogen efuvium) [1]:
• Performed by grasping a small portion of hair and gently applying traction while sliding the fingers along the hair shafts.
– Normal: 1–2 hairs removed. – Abnormal: ≥6 hairs.

(b) Direct microscopic inspections of hair shaft [1]:
• Exclamation point hairs: distal end broader than proximal end; seen in alopecia areata.
• Anagen hairs: elongated, distorted bulb with attached outer root sheath.
• Telogen hair: club-shaped bulb.
(c) “Hair growth window” (useful for trichotillomania):
• Repeatedly (weekly) shaving a small area of involved scalp to demonstrate normal regrowth.
(d) Scalp biopsy (useful for scarring alopecias) [1]:
4. Laboratory testing (useful for androgenetic alopecia, females particularly):
(a) Total and free testosterone and dehydroepiandros-
terone sulfate.
Treatment (Table21.1) [1–4, 6, 8–10]
General Measures
• Treat underlying medical problems: thyroid disorder or iron deficiency.
• Discontinue any possible contributing medications, espe­cially in telogen effluvium.
• Advise patient of importance of changing hair practices: traction alopecia or CCCA.
• Psychological intervention may be needed for trichotillomania.
Clinical Pearls
• A thorough history and physical examination of the hair and scalp are key to determining the type of alopecia.
• Treat underlying medical conditions and remove any potentially exacerbating medications.
• A change in hair practices, especially in African American women, is often necessary.
• Check nails for pitting in alopecia areata and check the ears for signs of discoid lupus.

Chapter 22 Knee Pain
MitsuyoKinjo

Introduction

The knee is the largest articular surface of any joint in the body. By convention, musculoskeletal pain lasting less than 6weeks is defined as acute, whereas pain lasting longer than 6weeks is chronic.
Important elements of the history are whether acute knee pain began following recent trauma or overuse during regular activity and if the pain increases with activity. If the pain developed after trauma, the presentation is likely caused by the specific activity or traumatic injury.

Key H&P

First, ask patients if the knee pain is acute or chronic. A detailed history should be asked to assess if acute knee pain developed following recent trauma or overuse. If the knee pain is unrelated to acute trauma or overuse during regular

activity, ask if the knee pain occurs with activity. The patient is then instructed to pinpoint the location of the pain. If the knee pain is not related to activity, ask if any systemic symp­toms or signs are present.
History
Knee pain is the tenth most common complaint in the ambu­latory setting [1]. Knee pain is classified as acute or chronic. Acute joint pain is defined as knee pain lasting less than 6weeks.
• Did pain develop following an injury or increasing activity
level?
• Did the knee pop at the time of injury? (ligamentous tear
or fracture).
• Did you twist the knee while you were sustaining the knee
flexed? (meniscus tear).
• Is the pain exacerbated by activity? Does the knee feel
stiff?
• Is the pain with activity worse while walking on uneven
surface, walking up and down stairs, movements requiring
knee flexion, or pivoting? (ligaments or meniscus tear).
• In which anatomic quadrant of the knee is the pain
located? Can you point where the pain is with one finger
(anterior, lateral, medial, or posterior)?
• Is the knee pain intermittent or constant?
• Is the knee pain worse after exercise?
• Do you feel the knee is getting stuck in place? Does the
knee give way during walking or climbing stairs without
pain preceding the episode?
• Are there any symptoms or signs of systemic illness? Is
there any fever, chills, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, or
rash?
• Do you have morning stiffness? Is there pain at night?
• Is there any other joint pain or swelling?
Chapter 22. Knee Pain
Knowing the detailed traumatic event is helpful. If the knee is twisted while in a flexed position, meniscus tear is suggested [2]. The clicking, catching, or locking of the knee and delayed onset of knee effusion are frequently appreci­ated in the meniscal injury. Patellofemoral pain is common among active females in the second and third decade of life. The knee pain is anterior around or under the patella and worsens with squatting, running, or prolonged sitting [3]. Pain from the degenerative osteoarthritis tends to be accompanied by stiffness and is worse with exercise or activity. Knee pain in osteoarthritis can be anteromedial or more generalized on the medial side of the tibiofemoral joint, or anterior in the patellofemoral joint [4].

Past Medical andSurgical History
Systemic conditions including rheumatic diseases, thyroid disease, hyperparathyroidism, hemochromatosis, or sarcoid­osis could be causes of knee pain. Sickle cell disease increases the risk of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. Hemophilia or other bleeding disorders can cause hemarthrosis from minor trauma. Patients should be asked regarding any old injury or surgery to the lower extremities.
History of gout or psoriasis, infections including sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, and Lyme disease should also be asked.
Medications
History of prior treatment with analgesics, nonsteroidal anti­inflammatory drugs, intra-articular injections of corticosteroids, or hyaluronic acid should be asked. Side effects of systemic glucocorticoids could be linked to avascu­lar necrosis of the bone (AVN), especially in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. AVN is characterized by insidious onset of unilateral or bilateral knee pain exacer­bated by weight- bearing activity.

Social History
The clinician should explore the patient’s history of exercise tolerance and daily activity including the use of an ambula­tory assist device and walking capability.
Physical Examination
Knee is examined using a systematic approach. First compare the affected and unaffected joints. Inspection, palpation, range of motion, strength, assessment of joint stability, and special tests to detect focal conditions should be included.
When inspecting the knee, the clinician should assess gait, swelling, ecchymosis and other signs of injury, muscle atrophy, alignment, and skin changes. If the patient can execute a duck walk, the knee is free from pathology of ligament, meniscus, or joint. The alignment of the knee, whether varus (bow­legged) or valgus (knock-kneed) deformity, predisposes the patient to osteoarthritis.
Palpation of both knees includes the skin temperature, medial and lateral joint lines, bursae, and posterior knee. Joints are normally cooler than surrounding skin, and if the joint feels warm compared to the back of the hand, it indi­cates inflammation. If the patient can pinpoint localized pain, attention should be paid to specific structures in that location (Fig.22.1). With the patient’s knee flexed at a 90° angle, place your thumbs on the tibial tuberosity and palpate the patellar tendon. Patellar tendinitis is suspected if the patient com­plains of pain at the inferior pole of the patella. If there is a tenderness over the medial anterior aspect of the tibia below the knee, pes anserine bursitis is suggested [5]. Pain on the medial joint line may indicate osteoarthritis of the medial compartment, medial collateral ligament injury, or a medial meniscal tear. Lateral joint line tenderness suggests similar conditions of the medial counterpart. Focal pain at the lateral femoral condyle is indicative of iliotibial band syndrome. Diffuse tenderness along the joint line is often caused by

degenerative, inflammatory, or infectious pathologies. Evaluation for a joint effusion should be determined. Effusion is seen as fullness or swelling in the suprapatellar pouch. Ballottement of the patella can confirm the knee effusion. In the case of small effusions, “milking” of the fluid from the

suprapatellar pouch to the patella and noting a parapatellar bulge can confirm effusions as small as 10cc or less.
If the patient has diminished active but intact passive range of motion (ROM), it suggests a problem outside the joint. Common reasons are structural disruption of the mus­cle tendon unit, excessive pain, or motor nerve damage. Diminished ROM is often caused by a mechanical problem inside the joint such as a torn meniscus. If the patient has crepitus and retropatellar pain when the patella is being com­pressed during active extension, patellofemoral syndrome or patellofemoral arthritis is suggested.
Vascular assessment includes palpating the lower extrem­ity pulses of the dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial, and popliteal arteries.
Referred pain to the popliteal space originates from the fifth lumbar (L5) nerve root and sacroiliac joint, and referred pain to the lateral aspect of the knee originates from the S1 nerve root, hip joint, trochanteric bursa, and femur.
Provocative maneuvers are only tested when initial history and examination suggest specific conditions.
The MCL valgus test is performed with knee at 0 and at 30 degrees of flexion [6]. The knee is braced by placing one hand along the lateral aspect of the knee joint and applying a val­gus force to the knee while the ankle is held in a neutral posi­tion. The MCL functions as the primary restraint at both flexion angles. At 30° of knee flexion, capsule and cruciate ligaments provide no secondary restraints to valgus stress. Thus, positive valgus test at 0° suggests injury to both the MCL and cruciate ligament, but positive test at 30° suggests isolated MCL injury. Focal tenderness at the collateral liga­ment and opening of the joint line with this stress testing compared to the unaffected knee suggests collateral ligament injury. To perform the LCL varus stress test, place one hand along the medial aspect of the knee joint and hold the ankle, applying varus force to the knee while keeping the ankle in a neutral position.
Anterior and posterior cruciate ligament (ACL and PCL) damage can be elicited by the drawer test. With the affected
