Background And Objective: This study was conducted to analyze the efficacy of the adjustable suture technique for correction of strabismus in patients with different types of strabismus.
Patients And Methods: This was an observational case series of patients who underwent the adjustable suture technique for correction of strabismus. A total of 33 adult patients (16 males and 17 females) with a minimum postoperative follow-up period of 6 months were included in the study. Patients were analyzed in three groups (patients with exotropia, esotropia, and vertical deviations). Success criteria determined were percentage change in the angle of deviation for far and near fixation, need for reoperation, and relief of diplopia.
Results: The median percentage change in the angle of deviation for far and near fixation was 86.60% and 84%, 92.50% and 94.44%, and 100% and 100% in the exotropia, esotropia, and vertical deviation groups, respectively. There was no need for reoperation, and postoperative adjustment performed 24 hours after surgery was needed in 30.3% of patients due to diplopia.
Conclusions: The adjustable suture technique seems to be an effective method in the correction of various types of strabismus.

A Conservative Crease-Height-Adjustable Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Technique Based on Live Anatomical Studies.

Article Synopsis
- Tarsal heights in Asian eyelids were found to be higher than previously reported, which may clarify issues with traditional double eyelid surgery methods.
- A novel 'MAP method' for creating double eyelid creases was developed, involving specific suturing techniques that preserve important eyelid tissue and provide adjustable crease heights based on individual patient preferences.
- This new technique offers better eyelid mechanics, a quicker recovery process, and longer-lasting results with minimal complications compared to classic procedures.
Anatomic Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction of the Knee Using Single Semitendinosus Autograft: Technical Note for the Borderline-length Graft.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)

The original LaPrade technique for anatomic reconstruction of the posterolateral corner of the knee uses two separate allografts. More recently, a modification of this technique, using an adjustable-length suspension device with a cortical button for tibial fixation, allows anatomic reconstruction with a single semitendinosus autograft. This modification is of utmost relevance when sources of allograft are not available for multiligament knee reconstruction.

Article Synopsis
- * A study surveyed 35 experienced hip surgeons, revealing that 91.4% use chemoprophylaxis, primarily aspirin, with varying durations suggested, mostly between 2 to 4 weeks post-surgery.
- * While most experts agree on the importance of VTE prophylaxis, there is no consensus on the best duration for treatment or recommendations regarding stopping oral contraceptives and smoking before the surgery.
Variation between surgeons in reoperation rates following vertical strabismus surgery: Associations with patient and surgeon characteristics and adjustable sutures.
PLoS One
November 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, United States of America.
Purpose: To quantify inter-surgeon variation in vertical strabismus surgery reoperation rates, and to explore associations of reoperation rate with practice type and volume, surgical techniques, and patient characteristics.
Methods: Fee-for-service payments to providers in a national database for Medicare beneficiaries having vertical strabismus surgery between 2012 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed to identify reoperations in the same calendar year. Predictors of the rate of reoperation for each surgeon were determined by multivariable linear regression.
Arthroscopic Repair of Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear with Adjustable Titanium Plate Fixation.
J Vis Exp
October 2024
Department of Joint Surgery, Hebei Medical University Third Hospital;
Medial meniscus injury is one of the most prevalent knee disorders, with posterior root tears occurring in approximately 10% to 21% of affected individuals. A posterior root tear disrupts the meniscus's continuous annular structure, compromising its ability to absorb pressure and protect the knee's articular cartilage. If left untreated, this can result in increased stress on the cartilage, leading to conditions such as varus deformity and accelerated joint degeneration.
