A 7-year-old girl was seen at the ER with severe pain of her index finger after twisting her hand whilst performing a handstand. Physical examination and X-rays showed an isolated dorsal dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint, also known as a Kaplan's lesion. A Kaplan's lesion is a complex dislocation with volar plate interposition. Therefore, most of the lesions require surgical reduction, preferably from a dorsal approach.

Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina.
Article Synopsis
- Tattooing has become increasingly popular, but it is associated with certain skin lesions, including malignant tumors.
- A review of cases revealed 160 instances of skin cancers linked to tattoos, showing a rise in reported occurrences, particularly with tumors arising from red ink.

ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Orbital Imaging and Vision Loss-Child.
J Am Coll Radiol

Specialty Chair, Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, Nashville, Tennessee.
Orbital disorders in children consist of varied pathologies affecting the orbits, orbital contents, visual pathway, and innervation of the extraocular or intraocular muscles. The underlying etiology of these disorders may be traumatic or nontraumatic. Presumed location of the lesion along with the additional findings, such as eye pain, swelling, exophthalmos/enophthalmos, erythema, conjunctival vascular dilatation, intraocular pressure, etc, help in determining if imaging is needed, modality of choice, and extent of coverage (orbits and/or head).

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the story of a 52-year-old man who sought evaluation for a chronic nasal lesion that had eroded into his nasal septum.

J Orthop Case Rep
January 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a rare case of complex metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocation, known as Kaplan's lesion, typically caused by hyperextension injuries and requiring surgical intervention for successful treatment.
- A 5-year-old boy with this injury underwent open reduction surgery using a volar approach, which was necessary due to complications that made closed reduction ineffective.
- Post-surgery, the patient was immobilized and achieved full range of motion and pain relief within four weeks, concluding that the volar approach is effective for managing complex MCP dislocations in children.
Granular Cell Tumors of the Larynx: A Systematic Review.

Objective: Granular cell tumor of the larynx is an uncommon, typically benign lesion that may be confused for a malignant neoplasm based on histopathology. This review examines cases of granular cell tumor of the larynx in adults to highlight key distinctions in diagnosis/management and demonstrate how misclassification may lead to unnecessary escalations in therapy.
