Purpose: To compare capsulotomy outcomes between two femtosecond laser platforms for cataract surgery.
Methods: This retrospective case series included 205 eyes of 162 consecutive patients (75 male and 87 female) aged 68.32 ± 10.27 years (range: 38 to 92 years) who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) using either the LenSx (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) or the Catalys (Abbott Medical Optics, Abbott Park, IL) laser platform. Intraoperative assessment of the capsulotomy was performed and graded as one of the following four types: complete treatment pattern (type 1), microadhesions (type 2), incomplete treatment pattern (type 3), and complete pattern but not continuous (type 4).
Results: Ninety-seven eyes underwent FLACS using the LenSx platform and 108 eyes using the Catalys platform. Ninety-four capsulotomies in the LenSx group were graded as type 1 (96.91%), and three were graded as type 2 (3.09%); all capsulotomies in the Catalys group were graded as type 1 (100%). There was no statistically significant difference between the LenSx and Catalys groups (P > .05). No intraoperative complications (specifically, no posterior capsular extension or vitreous loss) were noticed in any of the eyes included in the study.
Conclusions: The LenSx and Catalys laser platforms demonstrate similar capsulotomy outcomes. The microadhesions that were demonstrated in three cases in the LenSx group did not lead to intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Evaluation of Outcomes Following Arthroscopic Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Across Different Surgeons, Surgical Techniques, and Postoperative Protocols: A Multi-institutional Study.
Orthop J Sports Med

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is frequently treated arthroscopically with osteoplasty and labral repair. Surgical preferences vary in terms of equipment, technique, and postoperative protocol. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are valuable tools to assess outcomes across different institutions.

Background: Autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) is an option to treat large osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs), accompanying subchondral cyst, and previous unsuccessful bone marrow stimulation (BMS) procedures. Although there is extensive literature on the outcomes of surgical interventions for medial osteochondral lesions, research focusing on lateral lesions remains limited. This article presents the intermediate-term clinical and radiologic outcomes following AOT for lateral OLTs.

Purpose: To assess whether capsular closure during hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy affects 2-year postoperative outcomes for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) without hypermobility.
Methods: A matched-cohort retrospective analysis of a single institutional database of patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy for management of FAIS between 2014 and 2022 was performed. Study inclusion criteria consisted of patients with FAIS who exhibited no signs of generalized ligamentous laxity (GLL) (Beighton score 0).

Purpose: To determine characteristics and differences in intraocular lens (IOL) exchange between eyes with an open (OPC) and closed posterior capsule (CPC).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Retrospective case series and review of literature.
In all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, restoring native patient anatomy has shown improved outcomes in comparison to nonanatomic reconstructions. Particular attention has been paid to the hip capsule, as the complex of the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments, as well as the zona orbicularis and iliocapsularis, all play an essential role in hip stability, mechanics, and maintenance of intra-articular pressures. An anatomic approach toward hip arthroscopy also includes labral repair or reconstruction with preservation of the chondrolabral junction and cam resection.
