Purpose: To explore the effectiveness and rotational stability of vertical implantation of the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) (STAAR Surgical) to treat myopia.

Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study, including 78 eyes from 46 patients with myopia who underwent ICL implantation. The patients were randomly divided into vertical and horizontal implantation groups. At 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery, rotational stability was evaluated using the postoperative axis deviation from the intended axis by the digital anterior segment photograph. The vault, crystalline lens rise, anterior chamber depth, manifest refraction spherical equivalent, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity values were obtained before and after surgery.

Results: A 3-month follow-up period showed significant differences between the efficacy indexes in the horizontal (1.11 ± 0.02) and vertical (1.13 ± 0.02) groups ( = .455). No significant difference was observed in the postoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent between the horizontal (-0.27 ± 0.18 diopters) and vertical (0.01 ± 0.08 diopters) groups ( = .151). Also, no statistically significant difference was observed in the corneal endothelial cells and intraocular pressure between groups ( = .555, = .464). The rotation angle of the horizontal group was greater at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months (3.14° ± 2.13°, 2.97° ± 2.01°, 3.27° ± 2.12°, respectively) compared to that of the vertical group (1.30° ± 1.29°, 1.85° ± 1.60°, 1.74° ± 1.33°, respectively) ( < .001 for all). From 1 week to 3 months, the changing angle of horizontal (0.31° ± 1.86°) and vertical (0.49° ± 1.33°) ICL rotation displayed a positive correlation with the changing vault of horizontal (48.41 ± 86.02 mm) and vertical (39.64 ± 78.43 mm) ICL rotation ( = 0.242, 0.335, = .033, .037).

Conclusions: The study supports great efficacy and safety in both vertical and horizontal implantation, with the vertical implantation group displaying better stability. .

Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a new arthroscopic method for reconstructing the popliteus tendon (PT). This minimally invasive technique is performed through the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee, which can reconstruct the posterolateral rotary instability (PLRI) of the knee.

Methods: Thirty-nine patients (8 females, 31 males) with PLC injury and normal knee alignment underwent arthroscopic PT reconstruction.

Lateralisation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty - A narrative review.

J Clin Orthop Trauma

March 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Woodend Hospital, Aberdeen, AB15 6XS, UK.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has witnessed a significant advancement with the introduction of lateralisation techniques, aiming to enhance shoulder function and implant durability. Traditional medialised designs, following Grammont's principles, have encountered challenges such as scapular notching, reduced rotational strength, and instability. In contrast, lateralisation methods, which reposition the joint center of rotation laterally on the glenoid, humerus, or both, seek to improve deltoid leverage, optimize the rotator cuff muscles' length-tension relationship, and enhance joint stability.

Can robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty be applied to valgus deformity.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University Hospital centre (Saint Etienne), Avenue Albert Raimond, Saint-priest-en-Jarez, 42270, France.

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in valgus knees is challenging. Optimal ligament balance, implant neutral or moderate valgus alignment are crucial but conventional instrumentations usually lead to outliers. Robotic arm assisted TKA (RATKA) advantages could answer this challenge.
