Surgical Technique

Aside from the hand, the most common level of amputation in the upper extremity is the transradial amputation; and these injuries typically result from major trauma.

When we perform cataract surgery for patients with retinal disease, we must tailor the IOL type, design and power to maximize vision given the underlying pathology.

Manual small-incision cataract surgery is an established method to perform cataract removal and is often considered as an alternative and a standby procedure to phacoemulsification in selected cases with associated ocular comorbidity.

In this video, Bryan J. Loeffler, MD, demonstrates the technique orthopedic surgeons at OrthoCarolina use for regenerative peripheral nerve integration of the superficial radial nerve.

For cataract surgery, when we implant the IOL, the closer the optic is to the center of vision, the better it is for visual outcomes.

Through modern implants and improved surgical techniques, surgeons are able to achieve improved outcomes with total ankle arthroplasty, including in patients with increasing levels of foot and ankle deformity.

In more than 99% of cataract surgery cases, the IOL that is implanted is left in position for life. However, there are rare cases in which we need to perform an IOL exchange, replacing the old IOL with a different IOL design or power.

Historically, management of ankle fracture pathology has focused primarily on obtaining congruity of the ankle mortise with focused surgical restoration of anatomic osseous alignment.

It takes careful patient selection, a sound surgical technique and stable components to achieve reliable uncemented fixation of total knee arthroplasty, a presenter at the Current Concepts in Joint Replacement Winter Meeting said.

An inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique and autologous retinal transplantation can be used to successfully close certain full-thickness macular holes, according to a speaker at the virtual OSN New York Retina meeting.
