Purpose: We report a unique case of recurrent Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) failure in a 69-year-old man with a history of pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) secondary to glaucoma surgeries.

Methods: This is a retrospective case report.

Results: The initial PAUL glaucoma implant was relocated to the sulcus, and the original sclerostomy was plugged with Tutoplast.

Importance: Consumer wearable technologies have wide applications, including some that have US Food and Drug Administration clearance for health-related notifications. While wearable technologies may have premarket testing, validation, and safety evaluation as part of a regulatory authorization process, information on their postmarket use remains limited. The Stanford Center for Digital Health organized 2 pan-stakeholder think tank meetings to develop an organizing concept for empirical research on the postmarket evaluation of consumer-facing wearables.

Posterior ankle impingement (PAI) is the result of bony or soft tissue abnormalities in the posterior region of the ankle directly behind the talus. Os trigonum, an accessory bone resulting from failure of complete mineralization, and the Stieda process, an elongated process of the posterolateral talus, are the most common bony abnormalities. The flexor hallucis longus tendon travels between the posterolateral and posteromedial tubercles of the talus in a fibro-osseous sheath.

Traditional treatment relies on immunosuppressive therapy (IST) with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CSA). However, the toxicity and limited availability of ATG have spurred interest in ATG-free regimens.
