Dislocation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare but serious complication. Here, a 74-year-old woman with posterior dislocation of her right cruciate-retaining TKA and ipsilateral tibia diaphysis fracture was presented. She only slipped down on the ground with a quick twist of her right leg. She underwent revision semiconstrained TKA and osteosynthesis of tibial fracture with plate and screw. Her partially avulsed patellar tendon was repaired as well. She was ambulatory with a cane and satisfied with revision operation at last control. Extensor mechanism and functional posterior cruciate ligament is especially important in patients receiving cruciate-retaining TKA. As far as we know, simultaneous dislocation of TKA with fracture of tibia diaphysis has never been reported before.

Background: Despite advancements in prosthetic designs and surgical techniques, patellar dislocation remains a rare but significant complication following total knee arthroplasty, with an incidence ranging between 0.15% and 0.5%.

In developing nations, patients often rely on traditional bone setters, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased complications. Adult hip dislocations carry a higher risk of avascular necrosis and require complex treatments.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the long-term outcomes of scleral fixation of aniridic black diaphragm intraocular lenses (BDIOL) in 38 eyes affected by aniridia and aphakia due to trauma or congenital conditions.
- After an average follow-up of 28 months, there was a significant improvement in visual acuity, and patients reported reduced glare and photophobia, though some experienced complications like elevated intraocular pressure and corneal decompensation.
- The findings suggest that scleral fixation of BDIOL is an effective solution for patients lacking capsular support, providing good vision quality with a low rate of complications, regardless of prior surgical history.
Mid- to Long-Term Clinical Outcomes and Failure Rates After ALPSA Lesion Repair.
Am J Sports Med

Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesions are associated with recurrent shoulder instability and higher rates of failure after capsulolabral repair compared with similarly treated Bankart lesions. Although these lesions can portend poor outcomes, there are limited data on the associated conditions and postoperative course in a young, active population.
Purpose: To evaluate the mid- to long-term clinical course and failure rates after ALPSA repairs and assess features associated with these outcomes.
Triple Clavicle Injury: A Fracture of the Middle Third Associated With Acromioclavicular Dislocation and Sternoclavicular Subluxation.

In this report, we present a case of a triple clavicle injury, acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation, a middle third clavicle fracture, and a sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) subluxation, and describe its successful surgical treatment. A 49-year-old female patient sustained a 3 m fall, resulting in direct trauma to her left shoulder. Initial radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a displaced middle third clavicle fracture, a high-grade ACJ dislocation, and a posterior SCJ subluxation.
