A 25-year-old female athlete presents to your office with chronic right patellar instability. She is here today following a right patella dislocation that occurred yesterday during a recreational soccer game. She notes a history of 5 similar patellar dislocations in the past. Figure A is a plain radiograph obtained in the office today. You order an MRI which demonstrates a medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) tear with asymmetry of the trochlear facets including a steep (cliff pattern) vertical slope and a supratrochlear spur. Based on these findings, what procedure is indicated to reduce residual patellar instability and allow for more anatomic patellar tracking?

A 65-year-old woman with the foot deformity depicted in figure A presents to your clinic for an initial evaluation. On examination, you are able to passively correct her deformity. She is, however, unable to perform a single-leg heel raise. She reports pain with ankle motion, and her symptoms are severe enough to interfere with her activities of daily living. The patient is otherwise healthy, but does live a fairly sedentary and low-demand lifestyle. What is the most appropriate initial treatment for this patient's pathology?

You receive an inpatient consult to evaluate worsening hand swelling and discoloration over the past six hours. The patient is a 74-year-old male with a history of heart failure and venous insufficiency, who presented five days prior with a severe traumatic brain injury following a motor vehicle collision. He is currently intubated in the neurological ICU, where he is receiving IV phenytoin for the management of post-traumatic seizures. On examination, you note violaceous discoloration and pitting edema of his right hand, as shown in Figure 1. His right upper extremity proximal to the wrist and the remainder of his extremities are without abnormalities. Radiographs of the hand demonstrate soft tissue swelling without any osseous injury. White blood cell (WBC) count is 10,500/mm^3 and CRP is 8.2 mg/dL. You recommend discontinuing his ipsilateral hand I.V., strict extremity elevation, and serial monitoring, and his symptoms gradually improve over the following week without further intervention. Which of the following describes the most likely mechanism underlying this patient’s presentation?
