Purpose: To describe a flapless/grooveless technique for four-point refixation of a dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) with four fenestrated haptics.
Methods: An intraocular suture looping technique was performed with the assistance of two 27-gauge needles. A looping needle was passed into the eye through paracentesis and was used to loop both fenestrated haptics on the same side with an 8-0 polypropylene thread. A guiding needle was used to guide the looping needle out of the eye at the scleral fixation sites. After looping each pair of fenestrated haptics on nasal/temporal sides with 8-0 polypropylene sutures, the IOL was refixated by definitive knotting. The exterior suture ends were buried into the sclera without the creation of scleral flaps/grooves.
Results: The technique was employed in four eyes (three patients). The mean postoperative follow-up period was 13.8 ± 2.2 months. Postoperatively, the IOLs of all the eyes remained well positioned and stable. The postoperative visual acuities of all the eyes were improved. No suture erosion, hypotony, scleral atrophy, chronic inflammation, retinal tears, and/or detachments were observed within the follow-up period.
Conclusion: The present technique provides minimal surgical invasion for the transscleral refixation of a dislocated IOL with four fenestrated haptics.

Intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is not an uncommon complication and often requires surgical intervention, depending on the status of capsular bag support. Conventionally, posterior dislocation of a foldable IOL or the IOL-bag complex warrants their removal as foldable IOLs are not ideal for sulcus placement. The technique presented here describes using quadrilateral sutures to refix looped haptic IOLs at the ciliary sulcus with or without a bag complex.

Objective: Patellar dislocations are a common occurrence in orthopedic practice, often accompanied by osteochondral fractures of the retropatellar cartilage surface, known as flake fractures, in up to 58% of cases. The parachute technique represents a simple and cost-effective surgical option aimed at restoring osteochondral integration and preserving native cartilage.
Indications: Flake fracture of the patella with osteochondral fragments.

Article Synopsis
- Osteochondral fractures (OCFs) are injuries involving both cartilage and bone, often caused by patellar dislocation, with common sites being the medial patellar facet and lateral femoral condyle, affecting all age groups.
- Diagnosis typically includes identifying a painful knee effusion and limited movement, with X-rays and MRI recommended for further assessment, especially when there's bleeding in the joint.
- Treatment aims to restore joint alignment and may involve conservative methods for small fractures, while surgery is needed for more severe cases, utilizing techniques like refixation and cartilage regeneration to lower the risk of long-term osteoarthritis.*

Background: Dislocated IOL exchange conventionally involves manipulation within the anterior chamber which risks secondary injury to anterior chamber structures. We describe and evaluate a 4-haptic IOL rescue technique that avoids entering the anterior chamber and thus minimizes post operative inflammation, astigmatism and recovery time relative to conventional IOL explantation and replacement techniques.
Methods: Retrospective, non-randomized, interventional study of all patients undergoing 4-haptic IOL rescue performed by two independent vitreoretinal surgeons at a single UK centre over two years.

Objective: To summarize the surgical accidents and postoperative complications of the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation by suture button fixation and bone occlusion, and to provide clinical reference.
Methods: The clinical data of 16 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation treated with modified arthroscopic Latarjet suture button fixation and bone occlusion between July 2017 and April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 15 were male and 1 was female.
