We present a case series of habitual luxation of the TMJ treated by eminectomy performed under local anesthesia and conscious seda...

One hundred and forty-five stifles of client-owned dogs that underwent corrective surgery for congenital medial patellar luxation were inspected for cartilage erosion on the articular surface of the patella. The lesions were mapped in surface percentage ranges of 20% and by location. Two-thirds of the patellae had cartilage erosion. Cartilage erosion varied between 0 and 100% of the total patel...

In this study, porous-coated, fixed with screwed-system femoral prosthesis and total hip prosthesis composed of screwed-system acetabular cup were applied on 21 dogs of different breeds, sexes and ages. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) was applied as one sided in all cases. In 7 cases luxation occured and in 5 of them the prostheses were taken out. One of the cases had a second operation for disloc...

We experienced a case of intraocular lens (IOL) luxation with the capsular bag after vitrectomy. The case was a 66-year-old female in whom an IOL was implanted one year after surgery for giant tear retinal detachment using silicone oil. Four years after the implantation surgery, the patient suffered subluxation of the IOL with the capsular bag. Examinations of the luxated IOL with the capsular ...
