A 36-year-old woman with high myopia had uneventful implantation of a phakic refractive lens (PRL) bilaterally. Two months postoperatively, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the right eye decreased to the preoperative level and the posterior chamber PRL disappeared from the anterior segment and was found lying in the vitreous cavity inferiorly. After lensectomy and pars plana vitrectomy, the PRL was removed through the initial clear corneal incision, improving the BCVA to 1.0. A zonular defect associated with high myopia, previously forgotten and unrecognized ocular trauma, or intraoperative manipulations may have resulted in the spontaneous dislocation of the PRL.

Most cases of patellar dislocation can be reduced spontaneously or manually without sedation. To date, only one case of arthroscopic reduction for a lateral locked patellar dislocation has been reported, with a short follow-up period. Herein, we report the case of a 22-year-old man with a lateral locked patellar dislocation for whom we performed arthroscopic reduction and repair of the medial structure, which stabilized the patella medially.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly effective surgical intervention for end-stage hip joint disorders. While common complications such as infection, dislocation, and prosthetic loosening are well-documented, rarer complications remain underreported. One such complication is foreign body interposition on the bearing surface, which can compromise joint mechanics and adversely affect outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate demographic profile, risk factors and outcomes following intraocular lens (IOL) exchange surgery for late decentration of IOLs in the dead bag syndrome DESIGN: Prospective, interventional case series PARTICIPANTS: 46 eyes (43 patients) with late decentration/dislocation of IOLs and spontaneous posterior capsule rupture in a clear and relatively intact capsular bag. None of the eyes had significant zonular weakness.

Methods: Study conducted at Raghudeep Eye Hospital, India.

Objective: To determine the feasibility, yield, and safety of fluoroscopic-guided aspiration of the acutely dislocated total hip arthroplasty (AD-THA).

Materials And Methods: IRB-approved, retrospective review of fluoroscopic-guided aspirations of AD-THA (January 2005-December 2023) was performed. Data from electronic charts and fluoroscopy images/reports were obtained.

Introduction: Coins are the most commonly ingested foreign bodies. When they get stuck in the distal esophagus, there is no general agreement about the timing of their removal because some of them may spontaneously migrate into the stomach, no longer requiring removal. We aimed at evaluating the gastric spontaneous passage of esophageal-retained coins, as well as complications.
