Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the quantification of eccentric fixation in amblyopic patients.
Material And Methods: In this study, 14 amblyopic patients and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled. Under non-mydriatic conditions, fixation tests were performed directly using a fixation ophthalmoscope and indirectly using spectral-domain OCT. For evaluations using OCT, the distance between the fovea and the fixation point, which was determined by a cross-sectional image, was measured.
Results: On evaluations of healthy volunteers by OCT, the mean distance between the fixation point and the fovea was 80.4 ± 37.7 μm for the dominant eyes and 63.7 ± 36.4 μm for non-dominant eyes (p = 0.41). In amblyopic patients, on evaluation by OCT, the mean distance between the fixation point and the fovea was 193.8 ± 188.3 μm in amblyopic eyes and 83.5 ± 39.3 μm in paired fellow eyes (p = 0.02). Although OCT could detect eccentric fixation points in all the affected eyes of amblyopic patients, fixation ophthalmoscope was unable to quantify them in 2 of 14 affected eyes.
Conclusions: Compared with a fixation ophthalmoscope, our method using OCT seems to be superior both in quantification and detection of eccentric fixation in amblyopic patients, without the need for mydriasis.

Periprosthetic Ulna Fractures Following Aptis Distal Radioulnar Joint Arthroplasty: A Series of Four Cases.

Christine M. Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery, Louisville, KY.
Purpose: This case series presents four cases of periprosthetic ulna fractures following Aptis distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthroplasty to elucidate clinical characteristics, contributing factors, management challenges, and short-term outcomes following this rare complication and to propose prevention and optimal treatment strategies.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 239 Aptis DRUJ prostheses implanted between 2012 and 2022 at a single institution. We identified four cases of periprosthetic ulna fractures and assessed demographics, surgical indications, time to fracture, mechanism of injury, radiographic findings, treatment modalities, associated complications, and outcomes.
Retinal Sensitivity in Comparison to Cone Density in Choroideremia.

Purpose: Choroideremia (CHM) is an X-linked inherited retinal degeneration causing loss of photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium, and choriocapillaris. Structural abnormalities of the cone photoreceptor mosaic have been reported even within the retained island of functioning retina. Here, we describe the relationship between cone density and visual sensitivity within the retained central retina in CHM.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 33 patients were treated for tibial tubercle fractures, with 13 classified as overweight or obese; more severe injuries were noted in the healthy weight group, while less energetic traumas primarily affected the overweight/obese patients.
- * All patients achieved full recovery with few complications; however, those in the healthy weight group had a quicker rehabilitation process, suggesting BMI influences injury severity and recovery time.

Saccadic eye movements successively project the saccade target on two retinal locations: a peripheral one before the saccade, and the fovea after the saccade. Typically, performance in discriminating stimulus features changes between these two projections is very poor. However, a short (∼200 ms) blanking of the target upon saccade onset drastically improves performance, demonstrating that a precise signal of the peripheral projection is retained during the saccade.
