Rare Variant Double-Layered Lateral Meniscus Detected During Arthroscopy in a Young Gymnast After a Hyperextension Knee Injury: A Case Report.

Case: A 15-year-old high-level gymnast sustained a hyperextension knee injury and was diagnosed with a lateral meniscus tear on advanced imaging. During arthroscopy, a redundant meniscus was encountered overlying an otherwise normal, intact lateral meniscus, consistent with a double-layer lateral meniscus. The redundant meniscus was resected, and the patient was able to return to gymnastics at her previous high level of competition.

Treatment of Pectoralis Major Tendon Tears: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Repair Timing and Fixation Methods.

Background: Repair of torn pectoralis major tendons is generally considered superior to nonoperative management, but there is a paucity of comparative data to demonstrate ideal repair timing and fixation methods.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to compare the outcomes between acute and chronic repair and among the various methods of fixation (transosseous tunnels, cortical buttons, suture anchors, screws with washers, and direct repair). It was hypothesized that acute repair would have superior outcomes and there would be similar outcomes among the various methods of fixation.

Treatment of Pectoralis Major Tendon Tears: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Operative and Nonoperative Treatment.

Background: The incidence of pectoralis major tendon tears is increasing, and repair is generally considered; however, a paucity of comparative data are available to demonstrate the superiority of operative treatment.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of operative and nonoperative treatment of pectoralis major tendon tears. We hypothesized that repair would result in superior outcomes compared with nonoperative treatment.

Oral Psoriasis of the Tongue: A Case Report.

Psoriasis is a common dermatological disease, but oral psoriasis is rarely reported in the literature. Its diagnosis has been a contentious issue among physicians. Its presence in the absence of skin lesions is not completely accepted by all physicians, and diagnosis is complicated by the fact that there are no defined criteria.
