Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in primary care medicine. The leading causes of knee pain are osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal disorders. A careful history and a rigorous clinical examination usually enable a diagnosis to be made without the need for further investigations. A systematic search for red flags helps identify patients requiring urgent and specialized care. When necessary, X-rays and ultrasound are the first-line imaging tests to perform. The latter can be used to guide a joint puncture for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This article reviews the diagnostic approach and summarizes the management of the main pathologies encountered in the general practitioner's office.

The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test is still the only screening tool for prostate cancer. It is recommended between the ages of 50 and 69 as part of a shared decision making process between a patient and his or her doctor using a decision aid, as the test carries a significant risk of overdiagnosis. If a patient wishes to be screened, either because he is at higher risk, or because he places greater importance on a modest reduction in cancer-related mortality, the frequency of screening depends on his age, family history, and whether he is part of a high-risk group. The use of multiparametric MRI after a positive PSA result can reduce the number of biopsies and, consequently, the risk of overdiagnosis.

Elderly with multimorbidity are at higher risk of accumulating direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). The presence of renal insufficiency, an extreme age or weight, a limited functional reserve, and a polypharmacy that may interact with DOAC, lead to an increased risk of bleeding. A medication review and an evaluation of DOAC exposure in this population could help identify this risk and better manage it. This evaluation is conducted in collaboration with coagulation experts through calibrated measurement of anti-Xa (rivarobaxan, apixaban and edoxaban), along with D-dimers measurement as a potential tool to assess thrombo-hemorrhagic risk. In the event of DOAC accumulation, experts could then propose personalized intervention, such as a dose reduction or a switch to another DOAC.
