Rationale And Objectives: Identifying underlying discoid morphology in the setting of a lateral meniscal tear (LMT) can be challenging with no clear consensus on its definition. We aim to determine the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of discoid morphology, including a novel meniscal height ratio.
Methods: A retrospective study of patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of isolated LMT between 2018 and 2023.
Background: Discoid lateral meniscal (DLM) tears continue to pose significant clinical challenges, warranting further investigation into the patient profiles and imaging findings.
Objective: To determine the MRI diagnostic performance in detecting isolated lateral meniscal tears (LMT) and discoid morphology, and to compare tear patterns and demographics between DLM and non-DLM tears.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for isolated LMT between 2018 and 2023, comparing demographic data, mechanism of injury, imaging and operative findings between pediatric and young adult populations with isolated DLM and non-DLM tears.
Background: While the use of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in men undergoing active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer (PCa) has been historically contraindicated, recent studies have contributed to a paradigm shift to this approach.
Aim: To examine the impact of testosterone on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and prostate biopsy progression in men with low testosterone on AS for PCa.
Methods: A retrospective single-center analysis was conducted on men undergoing AS for PCa who subsequently underwent TRT.
Background: Mutton Bustin' was developed as a safer alternative to rough stock rodeo events such as bull riding to allow kids to participate in the rodeo. Children hold on to the bareback of a running sheep until they fall, competing to see who can ride the longest. While reports of injuries due to other rodeo events are well described in the literature, there are no reports of Mutton Bustin'-associated injuries.

- The study utilized modern hand x-rays and height data from diverse racial groups (Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, and Asian children) to assess developmental patterns based on percent final height (PFH), compared to the historical Greulich & Pyle Atlas.
- A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate bone age (BA) and chronological age (CA) differences between races by analyzing data from 498 patients across different Sanders stages and employing statistical tests for significance.
- Results indicated that Black and Hispanic children often had a more advanced BA compared to White children, with significant age differences noted at the 85th PFH, suggesting variations in skeletal maturation among different racial groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study is a retrospective comparison of outcomes for lumbar fusion surgeries at various hospital types: an orthopedic specialty hospital, a hybrid community hospital, a conventional community hospital, and a tertiary care hospital.
- It found that patients at the tertiary care hospital had longer hospital stays and higher readmission rates compared to those at the orthopedic specialty hospital and hybrid community hospital, indicating a potential advantage for specialized care.
- Overall, the results suggest that orthopedic specialty hospitals may lead to shorter recovery times and better discharge outcomes compared to more conventional hospital settings.
