The most common complication after cataract surgery is postoperative capsular opacification, which includes anterior capsular opacification (ACO) and posterior capsular opacification (PCO). Increased adhesion of lens epithelial cells (LECs) to the intraocular lens material surface promotes ACO formation, whereas proliferation and migration of LECs to the posterior capsule lead to the developmen...

Data collected from 3646 eyes in the Italian-American Natural History Study of Age-Related Cataract were used to investigate whether the reliability of the Lens Opacities Classification System II (LOCS II) by the severity of the opacity that is being graded or is influenced by the presence and severity of coexisting opacities. Reliability was assessed by comparing the slit-lamp gradings of two ...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for posttraumatic, recurrent anterior-inferior glenohumeral instability with capsular laxity. METHODS Seventeen patients (4 females, 13 males; mean age 27 years; range 18 to 40 years) were treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair and posterior capsular plication for posttraumatic, recurrent anterior-inferior glenohumeral insta...

Arthroscopic treatment of arthrofibrosis of the knee is a technically challenging procedure. Capsular distention with fluid before arthroscopy results in easier and safer insertion of arthroscopic instruments with improved arthroscopic visualization. In addition, it stretches the entire capsule, including the difficult to access posterior capsule. This report describes a simple technique for ca...
