ABSTRACT Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) present a formidable treatment challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Historical cartilage repair strategies often result in the formation of fibro cartilage leading to suboptimal clinical results. With advances in regenerative medicine, modern surgical techniques are diverse and employ autograft, allograft and tissueengineered constructs for cartilage repair. Fresh and particulated juvenile allograft transplantation have become popular options in the United States. Worldwide, both cellular and acellular tissueengineered constructs are utilized. In all cases, there is still debate as to the optimal cell source and scaffold material and only short term clinical results are available. This article will review these current as well as experimental techniques for cartilage repair of osteochondral lesions of the talus. Adams Jr SB, Gross CE, Tainter DM, Easley ME, Parekh SG.

Introduction: Small incisions in cataract surgery have shown to reduce tissue damage, postoperative inflammation and pain. Objective: To describe in detail the surgical management challenges and clinical results of bimanual micro-incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery in children with congenital cataract. Materials and methods: In 22 eyes of 14 children aged from 11 months to 17 years with congenital cataract, micro-incision cataract surgery with lensectomy, bimanual aspiration or phacoemulsification and implantation of an intraocular lens (SN60WF, Alcon®) was performed under general anesthesia. The visual equivalent obtained with age-related methods, the slit-lamp examination, and refractive outcome were documented in the medical records and were analyzed retrospectively. The patients fulfilled at least 3 months of follow up. Results: In all operated eyes, micro-incision cataract surgery could be performed without serious intra-operative complications. Lensectomy was safely combined with a primary posterior capsulorhexis and anterior vitrectomy in 17 of 22 eyes. Corneal incision length ranged between 2.2 mm and 2.6 mm (mean: 2.3 ± 0.2 mm). No cases of postoperative hypotony and increased inflammation were observed. One eye required surgical removal of the after-cataract 7 months after surgery. Laser capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification had to be performed in 2 (9 %) eyes. In all other eyes (19/22), visual axis remained clear during follow-up.Conclusion: Micro-incision cataract surgery is a promising alternative to conventional pediatric cataract surgery, since the technique showed to be comparably safe and effective. Longer follow-up examinations will now be performed.Key words: congenital cataract; bimanual micro-incision phacoemulsificationDOI: 10.3126/nepjoph.v3i1.4270Nepal J Ophthalmol 2011;3(5):3-8

Purpose The purpose of this tutorial was to describe the surgical management of palate-related abnormalities associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Craniofacial differences in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome may include overt or occult clefting of the palate and/or lip along with oropharyngeal variances that may lead to velopharyngeal dysfunction. This chapter will describe these circumstances, including incidence, diagnosis, and indications for surgical intervention. Speech assessment and imaging of the velopharyngeal system will be discussed as it relates to preoperative evaluation and surgical decision making. Important for patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is appropriate preoperative screening to assess for internal carotid artery positioning, cervical spine abnormalities, and obstructive sleep apnea. Timing of surgery as well as different techniques, common complications, and outcomes will also be discussed. Conclusion Management of velopharyngeal dysfunction in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is challenging and requires thoughtful preoperative assessment and planning as well as a careful surgical technique.
