Scleral buckling is a surgical technique to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Vision may be affected by the scleral buckle. Since the buckle is pushed into the sclera towards the detached retina, it may change the shape and the focal length of the eyeball. A paradigm mathematical model of human eyeball is set up to examine how the focal length of the eye is affected under the actio...

OBJECTIVES Buckle fractures are the most common wrist fractures in children, yet there is little literature regarding their management. This study examined the management of these fractures and attitudes toward their immobilization by pediatric emergency department (ED) physicians and pediatric orthopedic surgeons. METHODS A standardized survey was mailed to all pediatric orthopedic surgeons ...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of circumferential casting in the emergency department (ED), orthopedic follow-up visits, and radiographic follow-up in the management of children with wrist buckle fractures. METHODS We performed a retrospective medical record review of all children < 18 years of age who presented to our tertiary care children's hospital betw...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the surgical outcome for management of giant retinal tear (GRT) more than 180° by combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), encircling scleral buckle, 360° Laser endophotocoagulation, and silicon oil tamponade. METHODS This was a Prospective, interventional case series study. Twenty four eyes of 23 patients suffering from GRT more than 180° underwent PPV combined with encir...

Compressing a thin elastic film attached to a thick compliant substrate can lead to buckling instability. Two commonly observed buckling modes, buckle-delamination and wrinkling, have each been analyzed separately in previous studies. Recent experiments have observed that the two modes can co-exist and co-evolve. In this paper, by analytical and finite element methods, we present a study on con...

Aims: To compare the success rates of vitrectomy and gas with vitrectomy, gas, and buckle in the treatment of inferior break retinal detachments. Methods: A retrospective case note review of 86 patients who presented with inferior break retinal detachments was carried out. An inferior break was defined as a horseshoe tear present between 4 and 8 o’clock. Patients were analysed in two groups; gr...

Disks of low-mass bodies scattered by giant planets to large semi-major axis and constant periapsis orbits are vulnerable a buckling instability. This instability exponentially grows orbital inclinations, raises distances, coherently tilts resulting in clustering arguments periapsis. The dynamically hot system is then susceptible the formation lopsided mode. Here we show that timescale decrease...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Numerous follow-up visits for wrist fractures in children are performed without therapeutic consequences. We investigated the degree to which the follow-up visits reveal complications and lead to change in management. The stability of greenstick and buckle fractures of the distal radius was assessed by comparing the lateral angulation radiographically. PATIENTS AND METH...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to report a case of ocular infection with Gliocladium species due to an exposed scleral buckle. DESIGN Interventional case report was used as the study design. METHODS A 60-year-old diabetic male patient presented with persistent pain, redness, and discharge in his left eye since 2 months. He had been treated previously with both topical and systemic ste...
