PURPOSE To examine histological changes resulting from dislocated and subluxated lenses. CASES The subjects consisted of 16 patients (aged 52-89 years) who underwent total lens extraction for lens dislocation or subluxation in the Department of Ophthalmology at Fukui Medical University during the period between April 1991 and June 1998. There were 5 patients (6 eyes) with traumatic dislocatio...

BACKGROUND Calcaneal fractures are the most common of all tarsal fractures, with the majority being the result of high energy injuries causing comminution of bone and lesions of the posterior articular surface. If the bone fragments are left dislocated or non-operative reduction is attempted, the outcome is poor, often with chronic disability. On the other hand, operative treatment does not alw...

Abstract After the fall of socialist regimes in South and Eastern Europe statues monuments were either removed, dislocated, or resignified. Several performance practices have been employed to engage with these monuments. Focusing on role played by artistic memorialization processes dealing communist past, this article uses concepts “performative monuments” (Widrich) “memory events” (Etkind) ana...

Several techniques have been employed for repositioning dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs). Herein, we describe a simplified and modified technique in which scleral fixation is performed together with temporary externalization of IOL haptics through a small, superior clear corneal incision. The sutures are tied to the externalized haptics; the haptics are then repositioned into the anterior c...

An 80-year old woman with a history of surgical fixation of her acromio-clavicular joint with three Kirschner wires 3 months earlier presented with shortness of breath and a dislocated shoulder. Computed tomography scan confirmed the diagnosis of a retained Kirchner wire in the right ventricle (Fig. 1) with pericardial effusion (Fig. 2). Figure 1: Scout view showing one wire within the heart sh...

Homocystinuria, an inborn error of amino acid metabolism, is a rare disorder. Here, we are reporting homocystinuria in two adult siblings. The elder brother had seizures, mental retardation, marfanoid habitus and osteoporosis with multiple pathological fractures of the bones and he was operated for a dislocated lens; the younger sister had mental retardation, osteoporosis and untreated dislocat...

William J. Hozack, MD: The radiographs demonstrate a dislocated total hip arthroplasty (THA) with extensive bone lysis on both the acetabular and femoral sides. Component fixation appears intact. Closed reduction is indicated in this case, as in virtually all cases of dislocation. A dislocated THA is painful for the patient and requires immediate attention. Furthermore, there are many instances...
