Study Design: A retrospective case control study.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the clinical significance of sagittal balance for predicting and managing the recollapse of cemented vertebra following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF).

Overview Of Literature: Recently, the recollapse of cemented vertebra following PVP for OVF has been reported.

Backgroud: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and complications of primary and revision surgery in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) accompanied by sagittal imbalance. Revision surgery has been associated with poor clinical outcomes and increased risk of complications. Previous studies comparing primary versus revision surgery included data for a wide variety of diseases and ages, but few investigated patients with ASD with sagittal imbalance undergoing anterior and posterior combined surgery.

Background: Many factors affect spinal alignment in adult spinal deformity with sagittal imbalance. However, although the importance of the paravertebral muscle and ligamentum complex in proper spinal alignment is well recognized, little information is available regarding the role of the paravertebral muscles in maintaining sagittal spinal alignment.

Methods: A total of 108 patients who had visited our institution from January 2016 to June 2018 were included in the present study.

Background: Double-tiered subchondral support (DSS) procedures with optimal distal dorsal cortical distance (DDD) have been reported to be effective in treating distal radius fractures, but there have been no studies of osteoporotic distal radius fractures in elderly patients. In this study, we demonstrated the efficacy of the DSS procedure with optimal DDD using a variable-angle volar locking-plate system for the treatment of osteoporotic distal radius fractures in elderly patients.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-two patients (mean age, 73.

Purpose: This randomized, controlled animal study investigated the morphologic and histologic properties of rabbit orbital fat following injection of human orbital adipose-derived stem cells (hoADSCs).

Methods: The efficacy of hoADSCs was compared to that of hyaluronic acid gel (HAG) and human orbital stromal vascular fraction (hoSVF). A total of 30 orbits from 15 New Zealand white rabbits (25 weeks postnatal, 2500-3000 g) underwent injection with HAG (molecular weight [MW] 1,000,000, 0.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical manifestations of tear production, distribution and drainage in the essential blepharospasm patients, and to analyse the changes after botulinum toxin A injection in these patients.

Methods: This prospective study was performed in 23 patients with essential blepharospasm treated with Botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A; Dysport, Ipsen Biopharm, UK) from November 2010 to February 2011. Ocular examinations, including frequency and severity of blepharospasm, tear break up time (BUT), Schirmer's test, lower lid tear meniscus height (TMH) measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT, rtvue software version 3.

Purpose: To report a case with complete ophthalmoplegia after herpes zoster ophthalmicus.

Methods: A 70-year-old male patient visited a clinic because of vesicular eruptions over the left side of his face with severe pain. Drooping and severe swelling of the left eyelid were present, along with keratitis and uveitis.
