Purpose: To report traumatic dislocation of a Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL, STAAR Surgical Co) discovered on routine examination.

Methods: A 26-year-old man was found to have ICL subluxation into the anterior chamber with pupillary capture on routine screening examination. The patient reported being punched near the left eye 2 weeks earlier. He noted mild blurry vision, no pain, and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/30, which was decreased from his baseline of 20/20 in the affected eye.

Results: Surgical repositioning was performed under pupillary dilation without complication. Postoperatively, UDVA was 20/20(-2). Persistent pigment on the ICL, slight pupillary margin peaking, and anterior chamber inflammation were noted.

Conclusions: Traumatic ICL dislocation may occur with minimal signs and symptoms. Education of patients about the necessity for examination after ocular trauma and need to wear eye protection during activities at high risk of ocular trauma are important.

Background: Spacer-type tibial osteotomy have been proven a novel and effective osteotomy to treat osteoarthritis, while lack of comparison with other surgical methods in younger patients. This study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of spacer-type tibial osteotomy versus open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade 3-4 osteoarthritis (OA) in patients younger than 65 years.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed a total of 224 patients with K-L grade 3-4 knee OA treated from March 2018 to November 2020.

: Two major classification systems exist for rib fracture (RFX) displacement. One system uses a 50% displacement threshold: Grade I (<50%), Grade II (≥50% to <100%), and Grade III (completely dislocated). Another proposes a 10% threshold: Undisplaced (<10%), Offset (≥10% to <100%), and Displaced (completely dislocated).

Distal realignment and medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction for the correction of patellofemoral instability in a patient with transtibial amputation.

Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Patellofemoral instability (PFI) is a multifactorial condition typically observed following initial traumatic patellar dislocation. PFI depends on various factors such as limb alignment, bony structure, and the integrity of static and dynamic stabilizers. Patients with below-knee amputation have a higher risk of experiencing PFI.

Case: We report a case of coccygeal dislocation complicated by defecatory dysfunction and discuss its treatment and mechanisms. A 58-year-old man was presented with coccygeal pain and defecatory dysfunction after sustaining an injury from a 1-m fall. Following diagnosis, a combined approach involving surgical treatment and physiotherapy was adopted, resulting in early symptom improvement and favorable long-term outcomes.

Trauma-induced shoulder dislocations and sprains rank among the most common upper extremity injuries, with contact sports accounting for the majority of cases. These injuries often lead to substantial impairments in joint function and long recovery times, requiring targeted therapeutic interventions to restore mobility and prevent recurrent injuries. Given the pivotal role of exercise therapy in restoring shoulder function, this study systematically reviews the literature on the comparative effectiveness of supervised versus self-managed exercise therapy following acute shoulder trauma.
