Spontaneous subluxation of the eyeball is a rare phenomenon as there are only few cases reported in the literature. It is a sight-threatening condition and very traumatising for the patient. The globe has to be reposited back within the socket immediately to save vision and to prevent exposure keratitis and optic neuropathy. In all published reports about subluxation of the eyeball, the underlying aetiology which was responsible for this condition was found. Herein, we report a case of recurrent spontaneous subluxation of the eyeball in which the cause could not be ascertained in a middle-aged male patient even after thorough clinical examination and investigation. The case was managed successfully with three-wall orbital decompression and tarsorrhaphy. The patient did not experience any episode of subluxation of the globe following surgery as orbital decompression increased the available space for the orbital contents, thereby averting its occurrence.

Torticollis in incomplete Kawasaki disease: a case of atlantoaxial rotatory fixation.
BJR Case Rep
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tokyo Metropolitan Toshima Hospital, Tokyo 173-0015, Japan.
Various respiratory, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, neurological, and urinary complications have been reported in Kawasaki disease. Here, we describe a rare case of atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF) associated with incomplete Kawasaki disease. The case is of a healthy 4-year-old Japanese boy who had a high-grade fever, lymphadenopathy, and torticollis diagnosed with incomplete Kawasaki disease.

Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery, Charité-University Medicine Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the outcomes of nonoperative treatment versus arthroscopically assisted stabilization for patients with acute Rockwood type 5 acromioclavicular joint dislocations.
- 48 patients treated nonoperatively and 48 matched patients who underwent surgery were evaluated for clinical and radiological outcomes over an average follow-up of 62 months.
- Results showed that the nonoperative group had better Constant scores and lower pain levels, while the surgical group had greater stability issues post-surgery compared to their initial condition.
[Clinical significance for new type of coracoid process fractures associated with acromioclavicular dislocation on CT three-dimensional reconstruction].

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to investigate the CT imaging characteristics of coracoid process fractures related to acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation and propose a new classification system for these injuries.
- Researchers reviewed the medical records of 18 patients who underwent surgery for these fractures between May 2012 and June 2021, specifically looking at fracture types and their relationship with the scapula.
- The results highlighted three specific types of fractures observed through CT imaging, with 15 instances falling into type II (hinged fracture), emphasizing diverse manifestations and the necessity for precise classification in surgical management.
Transient Apical Breakdown: Incidence, Pathogenesis, and Healing.
Dent Traumatol
October 2024
College of Dentistry, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is a temporary type of dental injury seen after tooth luxation, indicating root damage and subsequent healing, affecting about 4.2% of such injuries, according to a 1986 study.
- This retrospective study analyzed data from 56 mature teeth of 49 patients aged 9-30 over 10 years to assess the incidence and healing of TAB after different types of dental luxation injuries.
- Results showed high rates of TAB occurrence in various luxation injuries (subluxation 43.8%, extrusive 62.5%, lateral 75%), suggesting that mild injuries may heal spontaneously, allowing for delayed endodontic treatment until infection signs
Novel Technique for Closed Reduction of an Irreducible Patella Dislocation in a Degenerative Knee.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

From Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program, Community Memorial Hospital, Ventura, CA (Dr. Kwan and Dr. Shafer), Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, Pomona, CA (Mr. Flaig), Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Ventura County Medical Center, Ventura, California (Dr. Ragsdale).
Article Synopsis
- - Patellar dislocations are common in young adults and often self-correct or can be fixed with closed reduction in the emergency room, but older adults face more complex issues due to degenerative changes in their knees.
- - A case report discusses a 60-year-old man whose traumatic patellar dislocation could not be resolved using standard closed reduction techniques because of an osteophyte on the femur blocking the patella.
- - The authors introduce a new closed reduction method for treating irreducible patellar dislocations, which has not been documented before in medical literature.
