Congenital horizontal tarsal kink is extremely rare. Only one case of associated microphthalmos has been reported. Various surgical techniques have been described with successful results. Few reported cases have been managed with intermarginal suture tarsorrhaphy. The current case is probably the third patient with severe tarsal kink to be managed with this simple technique.

Ocul Immunol Inflamm
December 2024
Isfahan Eye Research Center, Department of Ophthalmology, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to provide a detailed overview of factors and the microbiological profile associated with corneal ulcers in newborns through literature review and analysis.
- Researchers evaluated 34 relevant case reports and one original study, involving 74 neonates, highlighting common risk factors like prematurity, NICU care, and specific congenital conditions.
- The most frequently identified pathogens causing these ulcers were viral and bacterial infections, with herpes virus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the most prevalent, signaling important findings for clinical awareness and management.
Congenital Tarsal Kink Syndrome: Literature Review and Case Report.
Children (Basel)
January 2022
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania.
Background: The congenital tarsal kink syndrome is a rare form of congenital upper eyelid entropion associated with cardiovascular, musculoskeletal or central nervous system disorders. This syndrome must be recognized and surgically treated as a perinatal emergency to avoid associated complications-corneal ulcer, corneal leucoma, secondary amblyopia and decreased vision among children.
Methods: A literature review was conducted to clarify the diagnosis particularities and the corrective surgery options of the congenital entropion on the upper eyelid.
Unilateral upper eyelid eversion and kink associated with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Purpose: Upper lid eversion in adults from non-cicatricial causes is rare. We report a case of upper eyelid eversion secondary to epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC).
Observations: A 37 year-old female presented with unilateral upper lid eversion.
Effect of Fixation Type and Bone Graft on Tarsometatarsal Fusion.

3 Massachusetts General Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Background:: End-stage tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthritis is commonly treated with arthrodesis of involved joints. Fixation hardware can consist of varying combinations of screws, plates, and staples with or without supplemental bone graft. There are limited data to demonstrate either superiority of a given fixation method or the impact of bone graft on fusion rates.

Foot Ankle Int
September 2018
2 Massachusetts General Hospital and Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Controversy persists as to whether Lisfranc injuries are best treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) versus primary arthrodesis (PA). Reoperation rates certainly influence this debate, but prior studies are often confounded by inclusion of hardware removal as a complication rather than as a planned, staged procedure inherent to ORIF. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether reoperation rates, excluding planned hardware removal, differ between ORIF and PA.
