We report on a patient who developed capsular block syndrome (CBS) in the early postoperative period with marked myopic shift in absence of anterior dislocation of the posterior-chamber intraocular lens (PC/IOL) and iris diaphragm. Treatment with focal 6-o'-clock Nd: YAG-capsulotomy resulted in complete visual acuity restoration. To the best of our knowledge this is the fist case of early onset...

Entire human cadaveric cervical spines with the basiocciput were subjected to load in a compression apparatus to simulate the clinical situation of forward dislocation. The movements were recorded by lateral cineradiography. Vertical load was measured by a potentiometric transmitter synchronised with each frame of the cineradiograph. The lower part of the spine was flexed and fixed, and the upp...

The aim of the article is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 1-stage surgical therapy via combined anterior-posterior approach on cervical spine fracture in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).We retrospectively analyzed profiles of 12 AS patients with severe fracture-dislocation of cervical spine received 1-stage combined anterior-posterior surgery in our hospital from October, 20...

purpose: to determine the sensitivity and specificity of posterior corneal elevation in discriminating keratoconus and subclinical keratoconus from normal corneas by galilei and orbscan ii diagnosed on the basis of topography. methods: three groups (keratoconus, subclinical keratoconus and normal) were evaluated with galilei and orbscan ii and results were compared to those obtained by gold sta...

BACKGROUND Patients who suffer anterior shoulder dislocations are at higher risk of developing glenohumeral arthropathy, but little is known about the initial cartilage damage after a primary shoulder dislocation. T1ρ is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that allows quantification of cartilage proteoglycan content and can detect physiologic changes in articular cartilage. PURPOSE T...

Hip fracture is a major health concern in elderly people. Thc standard line of management hip arthroplasty classified whether it intracapsular or extracapsular. Hemi the preferred surgery geriatric population as less mobility and large diameter femur head reduces chances dislocation. There are 4 surgical techniques for -arthroplasty: anterior (Smith-Peterson), anterolateral (Watson. lones), lat...

purpose: to evaluate changes in anterior chamber (ac) parameters before and one month after nd:yag capsulotomy. methods: a total of 30 eyes from 27 patients with posterior capsule opacification graded 2-4 with surgical history of uneventful phacoemulsification and acrylic foldable iol implantation were included in this study. before capsulotomy and one month later, anterior chamber depth, volum...
