Vertical alveolar augmentation by distraction osteogenesis has become a standard pretreatment of dental implants due to the main benefit of lack of donor site complications, and many reports have shown its benefit with various types of alveolar distractors. However, autogenous bone transplantation and/or guided bone regeneration techniques are still the standard treatment for correcting a narrow alveolar ridge because of few commercially available distractors for alveolar widening. In this article, we treated a case by a mesh-plate type of alveolar widening distractor for a narrow posterior mandibular alveolar ridge after extirpation of a large jaw cyst.

Analysis of the correlations between changes in posterior segment and anterior chamber segment after implantable collamer lens implantation in highly myopic patients.
BMC Ophthalmol

Department of Refractive Surgery, Guangzhou Aier Eye Hospital, Jinan University, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, 510000, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation on anterior chamber angle parameters and posterior segment structures in highly myopic eyes and explore potential correlations between these changes. The study aimed to assess alterations in superficial and deep vessel density (SVD, DVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness to clarify the safety profile of ICL implantation.
Methods: Prospective observational study, included 36 highly myopic eyes undergoing ICL implantation in surgery group and 23 non-surgical control eyes in non-surgery group.

Introduction: There are few reports on the treatment of pelvic posterior ring injury with Sacral 1 - Sacral 3(S1-S3)sacroiliac screw fixation. This article reports a case of pelvic posterior ring injury with S1 sacral dysmorphism treated with S1-S3 sacroiliac screw fixation and reviews the relevant research progress.
Presentation Of The Case: A 72-year-old man riding e-bike was struck by a car at a high speed and diagnosed with pelvic fracture.
High-Degree Posterior Rotational Osteotomy Provides Post-operative Stability Superior to Anterior Rotational Osteotomy for Non-traumatic Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Evaluation Using Computed Tomography.

Orthopaedic Surgery, Showa University School of Medicine, Tokyo, JPN.
Introduction This study evaluated hip joint dynamic instability in patients with non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) with extensive lesions, who had undergone anterior rotational osteotomy (ARO) and high-degree posterior rotational osteotomy (HDPRO), based on the femoral head translation observed by computed tomography (CT) at 0° and 45° hip flexion. Materials and methods Medical records of patients who had undergone transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy for non-traumatic ONFH were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who had undergone CT examinations six weeks post-operatively. In all, 64 hips (60 patients; 19 men and 41 women), comprising 36 hips treated with HDPRO and 28 hips treated with ARO, respectively, were included.

Aim: To identify topographic determinants of the anterior chamber angle (ACA) in patients with keratoconus (KCN).
Methods: Four hundred and ten eyes of 294 patients with KCN were recruited for this study. First, complete ocular examinations were performed for all patients, including visual acuity measurement, refraction, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy.
Intra-arterial lidocaine administration of lidocaine in middle meningeal artery for short-term treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage-related headaches.

Background And Purpose: We report short- and intermediate-term effects on headaches with intra-arterial injection of lidocaine in the middle meningeal artery in patients with severe headaches associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Methods: We treated seven patients with intra-arterial lidocaine in doses up to 50 mg in each middle meningeal artery via a microcatheter bilaterally (except in one patient). We recorded the maximum intensity of headache (graded by 11-point numeric rating scale) prior to procedure and every day for the next 10 days or discharge, whichever came first.
