This article describes a technique for surgically extruding severely compromised roots needing prosthetic rehabilitation. Unlike previously described approaches, the technique does not require advanced clinical skills or equipment, may reduce the risk of tooth or bone fracture during the luxation maneuvers, and does not seem to interfere with the alveolar socket healing process.

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.

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Ege University, Bornova, 35100, Izmir, Turkey.
Purpose: To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes in two patient groups: first, varus aligned medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) patients who underwent posteromedial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (PMOWHTO) and simultaneous root repair; second, patients with varus medial knee osteoarthritis without MMPRT who underwent PMOWHTO.
Methods: Patients had MMPRT repair concomitant with PMOWHTO and varus medial knee osteoarthritis without concomitant root tear patients who underwent PMOWHTO and were reviewed. Radiographic parameters, medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and Knee Society Scores [KSSs, including the following subscores: knee score (KS) and knee function score (KFS)] were evaluated.
