Step-cut osteotomy in neglected Monteggia fracture dislocation in pediatric and adolescent patients: A retrospective study.

Introduction: Neglected Monteggia fracture dislocation in children leads to significant restriction of daily activities by causing decreased range of motion at elbow, stiffness, deformity, and neurological compromise. Various treatment strategies have been described in the literature and one of them is ulnar osteotomy combined with reduction of radial head and annular ligament reconstruction.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of step-cut osteotomy without the use of bone grafting with reconstruction of annular ligament in the management of neglected Monteggia fracture dislocation in children.

Morphological analysis of functional filtering blebs with anterior segment optical coherence tomography: A short-term prediction for success of trabeculectomy.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze morphological parameters of apparently functional filtering blebs with anterior segment optical coherence tomography at 1 month post trabeculectomy and to correlate these parameters with intraocular pressure at 6 months of follow-up to predict the short-term success of trabeculectomy.

Methods: In this cross-sectional, descriptive study, apparently functional blebs were evaluated using anterior segment optical coherence tomography with crossline scans after 1 month of trabeculectomy.

Results: A total of 55 eyes of 55 cases with mean age 49.
