Prevalence and risk factors for primary angle-closure disease spectrum: The Colombian glaucoma study.

Purpose: To estimate the prevalence and risk factors associated with the primary angle-closure disease spectrum in participants of the Colombian Glaucoma Study.

Methods: A cross-sectional study in subjects older than 50 years with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus or/and systemic hypertension was conducted in Colombia to estimate glaucoma prevalence. This study included 1749 patients and classified them using gonioscopy into either open-angle or primary angle-closure disease spectrum groups.

Postoperative Failure Frequency of Short External Rotator and Posterior Capsule With Successful Reinsertion After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: An Ultrasound Assessment.

Background: The reinsertion of the short external rotators and posterior capsule to the greater trochanter in the posterolateral approach has been considered an effective strategy to reduce the risk of dislocation. However, during clinical practice, no verification and monitoring of the status of such reinsertions is carried out. The objective of this study is to estimate the frequency of postoperative failure with successful reinsertion of the short external rotator and posterior capsule of the hip through ultrasound after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the posterolateral approach.
