Transscleral suture fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses through the ciliary sulcus: endoscopic comparison of different suture techniques.
Two technical difficulties exist in transscleral suture fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCL) in the ciliary sulcus: first, exact needle penetration of the sulcus and second, exact positioning of the PCL haptics in the sulcus. We used, for the first time, intraocular endoscopy to visualize the site of needle penetration and the final location of the haptics in patients. It turn...
متن کاملKnotless Tape Suture Fixation of Quadriceps Tendon Rupture: A Novel Technique.
Quadriceps tendon ruptures disrupt the extensor mechanism of the knee and require urgent surgical management. Traditional repair techniques have had mixed biomechanical and clinical results risking weakness and extensor lag. We describe a novel technique using tape suture and knotless anchors, which has performed superiorly during biomechanical testing and yielded terrific early clinical results.
متن کاملArthroscopic Posterior Glenoid Fracture Fixation Using Knotless Suture Anchors
Shoulder instability after a posterior glenoid rim fracture is rare and potentially difficult pathology to treat. Operative techniques often involve a large dissection to view the fragments resulting in local soft tissue injury. Internal fixation is often achieved with interfragmentary screws; however, this may not be possible with small or multifragmentary fracture patterns. We describe an art...
متن کاملNew technology applications: Knotless barbed suture for tracheal resection anastomosis.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Tracheal resection anastomoses are often under tension and can be technically challenging. New suture materials such as V-loc (barbed, knotless wound closure device) may offer advantages over conventional methods. The objective of this study is to determine if a running V-loc suture is of comparable tensile strength to conventional closure. STUDY DESIGN Laboratory based ...
متن کاملModified transscleral fixation technique for refixation of dislocated intraocular lenses.
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of transscleral fixation of dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) by externalizing the haptics through a clear corneal incision. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Rassoul Akram Hospital, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. METHODS This retrospective interventional case series comprised 21 eyes (21 patients) in which a dis...
