Background: The need for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) will probably grow dramatically in the geriatric population. However, ACDF with self-locking standalone cages in patients over 80 years has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic results in patients over 80 years treated by ACDF with self-locking standalone cages.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of simplified graded inferior oblique anterior transposition (IOAT) in treating at least 10 PD vertical deviation in the primary position and inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 65 patients treated with simplified graded IOAT procedures for both vertical deviation and IOOA. Patients were grouped according to vertical deviation in the primary position.

Purpose: To evaluate intermediate-term outcomes and complications associated with Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in eyes with type 1 keratoprosthesis (KPro).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of 43 eyes of 43 Indian patients with type 1 KPro and AGV from 2009 to 2021 with a minimum of 6-months of follow-up. Five eyes that had AGV before KPro were excluded, leaving 38 eyes for analysis.

Background: Lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) selection for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with structural lumbar curves (Lenke 3, 5, and 6) remains debated. The iliolumbar angle (ILA) measurement is useful for assessing the lumbosacral junction flexibility. If it is nonreducible, surgeons need to make a difficult choice between a potential "imperfect" L4, associated with a residual lumbosacral curve, or a more distal fusion performed later in life due to poorer functional outcomes.
