A boy with histiocytosis X, first diagnosed at the age of 9 months, presented at the age of 5 years with left globe luxation. Under general anaesthesia the globe was reduced and a temporary paracentral tarsorrhaphy carried out. He was started on a course of oral steroids. Two years later he had normal visual acuity, full ocular movements, and healthy fundi.

PURPOSE To compare the cyto- and chemokine profiles in the aqueous humor of PEXS eyes in the absence or presence of secondary glaucoma with or without luxation of the intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS Samples of aqueous humor were collected intraoperatively from 20 healthy controls and from 73 eyes with PEX-syndrome, which was manifested in the absence of any other local or systemic desease. Th...

OBJECTIVES To describe the surgical technique and report short-term outcome for combined tibial plateau levelling osteotomy and tibial tuberosity transposition (TPLO-TTT) as an option in the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency with concomitant medial patellar luxation. METHODS Medical records were reviewed (2011-2013) of dogs that underwent a standard tibial plateau levelling...

Luxation of the eyeball in two African patients is reported for its rarity. It followed minor trauma to the face and was reduced in both cases without permanent visual disability.

early osteointegration. On-growth of bone to porous coated prostheses is influenced by many factors such as the composition and topography of the surface, as well as the local biological and mechanical environment in the immediately adjacent bone. Given that the short stem femoral implant is orientated in a more oblique to transverse trajectory, it might be subjected to greater bending moments ...

INTRODUCTION Extrusive luxation is a traumatic dental injury caused by the action of oblique forces, characterized by partial displacement of the tooth out of its socket. The ideal treatment for this type of trauma involves repositioning the tooth in its socket. However, in cases where the tooth cannot be repositioned, different options may be considered, such as intentional reattachment and or...

65 Scapulohumeral Joint Luxation in a Dog INTRODUCTION Excision arthroplasty has been proposed as an alternative procedure for salvage of the canine scapulohumeral joint that cannot be effectively treated by conventional techniques (1, 2). Two techniques of excision shoulder arthroplasty have been described. In one technique, only an ostectomy of the glenoid cavity of the scapula was performed ...

La reconstruction des pertes de substance osseuses fémorales proximales étendues est un défi dans la hanche par prothèse totale (PTH). résection fémorale proximale (PRF), utilisée initialement les contextes tumoraux, une alternative aux allogreffes composites. Cependant, PRF présentent taux complication élevé, notamment luxation. Par ailleurs, cupules à double mobilité (CDM) sont efficaces prév...
