Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcome of involutional entropion repair by means of a combined procedure of lateral tarsal strip and Quickert everting sutures.
Methods: Noncomparative interventional case series of patients who underwent a combined procedure of lateral tarsal strip and Quickert sutures for treatment of involutional entropion between September 1999 and September 2002. Of 75 patients who underwent surgery, 36 were followed for at least 2 years. At the 2-year clinical examination, patient comfort, complications, recurrence rates, overcorrection, and cosmetic appearance were assessed.
Results: The average age of the 36 patients was 76.67 years. There were 5 bilateral cases, for a total of 41 eyelids. Nine eyelids underwent the procedure to correct recurrent entropion. The recurrence rate was 0% at 1 month after surgery, 2 of 41(4.9%) at 6 months, and 5 of 41 (12.2%) at 2 years. The recurrence rate after a primary procedure was 3 of 32 (9.4%), and, after a failed previous procedure, 2 of 9 (22.2%). There were no cases of secondary ectropion, and all patients were happy with their cosmetic appearance.
Conclusions: A combined lateral tarsal strip and Quickert sutures procedure is effective, simple, and addresses all of the factors that contribute to involutional entropion formation, with a good long-term success rate and cosmetic outcome.

Utilization of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of pes planus and pes cavus with a smartphone camera.
World J Orthop
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, United States.
Background: Pes planus (flatfoot) and pes cavus (high arch foot) are common foot deformities, often requiring clinical and radiographic assessment for diagnosis and potential subsequent management. Traditional diagnostic methods, while effective, pose limitations such as cost, radiation exposure, and accessibility, particularly in underserved areas.
Aim: To develop deep learning algorithms that detect and classify such deformities using smartphone cameras.
Oculoplastic Operative Considerations for Kabuki Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Kabuki syndrome is a rare genetic disease with multisystemic effects including ocular manifestations. The authors report a patient with known Kabuki syndrome who presented with bilateral euryblepharon, bilateral ptosis, OD hypotropia, and blue sclera. A bilateral lateral tarsal strip procedure was performed followed by a left frontalis sling with a silicone implant and a right external levator advancement with success.

Department of Ocular Plastic Surgery; Federal University of Goiás, Goiás, Brazil.
Purpose: This study aims to compare the lateral brow-eyelid contour following traditional blepharoplasty versus blepharoplasty with brassiere sutures using 3D imaging.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative, parallel-group trial involved 56 female patients with dermatochalasis. Patients with an odd number of letters in their first names underwent traditional upper blepharoplasty (group A), while the rest underwent blepharoplasty with orbicularis oculi muscle fixation (group B).

Purpose: To describe foot abnormalities in proximal femoral focal deficiency and their correlation to the severity.
Methods: Eighty-nine extremities in 87 patients were evaluated between 1996 and 2020 clinically and radiologically. Fibula length, ankle shape, tarsal coalitions, and the number of foot rays were recorded.
Sub-bandage pressure changes in canine hindlimbs after re-application of custom rigid fiberglass splints.
BMC Vet Res
December 2024
University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center, Saint Paul, MN, USA.
Background: While limited information is available, it is possible that high or low sub-bandage pressures cause injury with external coaptation. Fiberglass casting tape is a common splinting material that is custom made for the first bandage and reused in subsequent bandage changes. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine sub-bandage pressure changes in canine hindlimbs between initial splint placement and replacement of the bandage by a different person.
