With technologic progress in imaging for patients with trauma, isolated medial orbital wall fractures have become an increasingly appreciated injury. Given that these injuries may cause deformity and functional deficit, reconstruction is warranted in some cases. Surgical approaches to the medial orbit have evolved, and there are particular benefits of the transcaruncular approach. This approach was used to reconstruct isolated medial orbital wall fractures for 9 patients over a 33-month period. A cadaver dissection demonstrating the approach combined with skull images is presented to illustrate anatomic details and technical points of the dissection.

Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) are prevalent congenital anomalies with complex genetic causes. The G874A mutation of T-box transcription factor 22 (TBX-22) gene is notably associated with CL/P, while the underlying mechanism remains to be clarified. Studies have shown that the restriction of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) process in medial edge epithelial cells (MEEs) is crucial for CL/P development.

: Canine tooth syndrome is a rare condition defined by the simultaneous presence of superior oblique palsy and Brown syndrome, resulting from pathological changes in the trochlear region. This syndrome can develop through various mechanisms, including dog bites, head trauma, infections, inflammation, and scarring. This report highlights its occurrence following sinus surgery for the first time.

This study was performed according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses) guidelines. PubMed and Medline databases were searched in October 2023 for studies reporting outcomes of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and stable medial meniscal ramp lesion treatment. Studies focused on diagnostic approaches, biomechanical properties, unstable ramp lesions, isolated ramp lesions, and concomitant intraarticular/extraarticular pathologies other than ACL rupture are excluded.
