It can present as direct or indirect injuries, with mechanisms ranging from mechanical disruption by fractures in direct TON to transmitted forces causing shearing and ischemia in indirect TON. These injuries often lead to significant visual impairment or complete vision loss, requiring timely diagnosis and intervention.

Background: Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) significantly contribute to knee dysfunction, leading to abnormal biomechanics and accelerated cartilage degeneration. Arthroscopic transtibial pullout and all-inside repair are two commonly used techniques for treating MMPRTs, each with unique advantages and limitations.
Objective: To compare the clinical and functional outcomes of the transtibial pullout and all-inside repair techniques in the treatment of MMPRTs, with a focus on postoperative recovery, knee function, and complications.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a search of PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Google Scholar for English-language articles published between 1822 and 2023, using the following keywords: "chronic pectoralis major ruptures," "chronic pectoralis major tears," and "patient outcomes.
