Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of simplified graded inferior oblique anterior transposition (IOAT) in treating at least 10 PD vertical deviation in the primary position and inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 65 patients treated with simplified graded IOAT procedures for both vertical deviation and IOOA. Patients were grouped according to vertical deviation in the primary position. Group 1: vertical deviation of not > 20 PD; the inferior oblique (IO) muscle was fixed 2 mm posterior and 2 mm temporal to the inferior rectus insertion. Group 2: vertical deviation > 20 PD; the muscle was fixed at the level of insertion of the inferior rectus muscle. Postoperative outcomes in vertical deviation (≤ 5 PD, excellent; 5-10 PD, fair; > 10 PD, poor), IOOA, anti-elevation syndrome (AES), abnormal head position (AHP), V-pattern, and foveal disc angle (FDA) were assessed.
Results: Patients were categorized as 43 (53.5% men) in group 1 and 22 (54.5% men) in group 2. IOAT improved vertical deviation, IO muscle function, AHP, V-pattern, and FDA. IOOA decreased from + 2.1 to 0.02 in group 1 and from + 2.4 to 0 in group 2. Mean vertical reduction after IOAT was 12.4 ± 3.8 and 23.8 ± 7.3 PD in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Excellent results were achieved in 83.7% and 77.3% of patients and fair results in 16.2% and 18.2%, respectively. Among the 48 asymmetric DVD patients, 83.8% and 82.3% in groups 1 and 2, respectively, achieved satisfactory results. No AES occurred in two groups.
Conclusion: The simplified graded IOAT procedure, which is graded only on the basis of vertical deviation, can achieve satisfactory results for resolving IOOA with vertical deviation or DVD, AHP, V-pattern, and FDA. In addition, the modified procedure of fixing posterior fibers at a slight posterior tilt is clinically instructive in correcting vertical deviation > 20 PD while reducing AES complications.

Background: Minimizing radiation exposure is crucial in monitoring adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have emerged as valuable tools being able to generate high-quality synthetic images. This study explores the use of GANs to generate synthetic sagittal radiographs from coronal views in AIS patients.

Musculoskeletal model predictions sensitivity to upper body mass scaling during gait.

Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Electronic address:
Musculoskeletal modeling based on inverse dynamics provides a cost-effective non-invasive means for calculating intersegmental joint reaction forces and moments, solely relying on kinematic data, easily obtained from smart wearables. On the other hand, the accuracy and precision of such models strongly hinge upon the selected scaling methodology tailored to subject-specific data. This study investigates the impact of upper body mass distribution on internal and external kinetics computed using a comprehensive musculoskeletal model during level walking in both normal weight and obese individuals.

In recent years, CAD/CAM techniques have been developed to produce retainers with high precision and tension-free fit. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the suitability of a semi-industrial retainer manufacturing process (office-based construction, external laboratory manufacturing) in terms of positioning accuracy and post-treatment changes.
