BACKGROUND A cyclodialysis cleft is a gap resulting from disruption of the longitudinal fibers constituting the ciliary body attachment to the scleral spur. The cyclodialysis cleft can be of traumatic or iatrogenic origin, and it may occur during intraocular surgery or as a result of a glaucoma operation. In this report we present a surgical technique to treat cyclodialysis: cyclopexy combined ...

Background It remains unclear whether the tibiofemoral relationship in the sagittal plane is restored after anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, particularly in cases of chronic ACL deficiency (ACLD). Hypothesis Patients with long-term ACLD will exhibit an anteriorly subluxed tibia both preoperatively and immediately postoperatively, even after anatomic reconstruction. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in anterior displacement with reduction (ADDR) and anterior displacement without reduction (ADDWR). Two hundred patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms were examined clinically by a clinician experienced with this disorder. There were 130 joints with ADDR and 45 joints with A...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of shoulder subluxation in stroke patients and the impact of rehabilitation and presence/absence of fluid in the subhumeral and subdeltoid bursae on the occurrence of instability. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group was composed of 182 patients after stroke, with 108 men and 74 women. 156 of the patients had suffered an ischemic ...

A 47-year-old man was struck on the back of the lower part of the neck by a falling tree, and became quadriplegic and lost tactile sensibility on falling to the ground. Some mild improvement in symptoms occurred during the next 10 to 20 minutes. No significant facial injuries were present. Neurosurgical evaluation diagnosed central cord syndrome, with injury at the C5-6 level. Radiographs showe...

Traumatic posterior instability may occasionally cause a large osteochondral lesion when the anterior humeral head is compressed against the posterior glenoid rim. This is termed a reverse Hill–Sachs lesion. Such osteochondral defects may be very large in the case of chronic locked dislocations. Even in acute posterior disclocations, closed reduction may be difficult when the humeral head is lo...
