To determine clinical features and outcomes of retinal detachments[RDs] following trans-scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens[PC-IOL], we reviewed the medical records of 249 eyes[239 patients] which had undergone trans-scleral fixation of PC-IOL and had been followed 6 months or longer. Retinal detachment occurred in 8 out of 249 eyes[3.2%]. The incidences of RDs were as follows:in 2/19 eyes[10.5%] with PC-IOL exchange for PC-IOL tilt, in 1/16 eyes[6.3%] with posterior capsule rupture during ECCE, in 1/26 eyes[3.8%] with ICCE, in 2/78 eyes[2.6%] with posterior capsule rupture during phacoemusification, in 2/106 eyes[1.9%] with aphakia, and in 0/4 eyes[0%] with anterior IOL exchange with PC-IOL. The sites of retinal break corresponded with the directions of needle during fixation in 5/8 eyes[62.5%] and all retinal breaks were located anterior to the equator. The timing of RD was between 2 weeks and 4.8 years after fixation although it occured within 2 months in most cases. Pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckling were performed in 7 eyes and scleral buckling only in one eye. Retinal reattachment was achieved in seven eyes including three eyes which required two surgical interventions. The vitrectomy should be performed with meticulous care to reduce vitreous traction as much as possible during trans-scleral fixation of PC-IOL and a close follow-up examination for RD is required during the first two months.

Osteoporosis causes a decrease in bone mineral density. To overcome the decrease in fixation strength, a variety of techniques and devices have been developed, including cement augmentation of pedicle screws. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is commonly known as bone cement, and is widely used for implant fixation in various orthopaedic and spine surgery. In general, PMMA augmentation of pedicle screws is simple and safe if performed with technical precautions. PMMA is a safe agent, but it may rarely lead to significant foreign body reactions. In this report, we present a patient who developed bone cement-related epidural space foreign body granuloma

Background: Irreparable anterosuperior rotator cuff tears (IASRCTs) present significant challenges, especially in young, active patients with limited joint-preserving options. Recently, latissimus dorsi (LD) transfer and combined latissimus dorsi and teres major (LDTM) transfer have gained attention as a potential surgical option. We aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of LD versus combined LDTM transfer in IASRCTs. Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, 53 patients with IASRCTs were analyzed after undergoing either LD transfer attached to lesser tuberosity (LT) (LD group, n = 23) or combined LDTM transfer attached to greater tuberosity (GT) (LDTM group, n = 30). Clinical evaluations included the visual analog scale score for pain, active shoulder range of motion (ROM), University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, activities of daily living that require active internal rotation (ADLIR) scores, and subscapularis (SSC)-specific examinations. Radiographic analyses involved assessing acromiohumeral distance (AHD), Hamada grade, the rate of anterior glenohumeral subluxation reduction, and integrity of the transferred tendon. Results: Postoperatively, both groups demonstrated significant improvements in pain and clinical scores (p < 0.001). At the 2-year follow-up, the LDTM group showed superior internal rotation strength (p < 0.001), ADLIR score (p = 0.017), and SSC-specific physical examination results (belly-press, p = 0.027; bear-hug, p = 0.031; lift-off, p = 0.032). No significant changes in AHD or Hamada grade were observed in either group. At final follow-up, no significant differences were found between the 2 groups in terms of AHD (p = 0.539) and Hamada grade (p = 0.974). Although preoperative anterior glenohumeral subluxation was improved in both groups, the LDTM group showed a statistically significantly higher rate of restoration compared to the LD group (p = 0.015). Conclusions While both LD and combined LDTM transfers for IASRCTs improved postoperative pain relief, clinical scores, and active ROM, the combined LDTM transfer attached to GT was superior to LD transfer attached to LT in terms of internal rotational strength, ADLIR score, and SSC-specific examinations. Neither group showed significant progress in cuff tear arthropathy or decreased AHD at 2-year follow-up; however, the combined LDTM transfer notably improved preoperative anterior glenohumeral subluxation.
