Article Abstract
Purpose: To compare postoperative vault measurements between horizontal and vertical fixation of the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) (KS-AquaPORT; STAAR Surgical) when its size is determined using the KS formula.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 2,343 eyes from 1,275 patients who underwent myopic ICL implantation. Pre-operative anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) (CASIA 2; Tomey Corporation) was performed in both horizontal and vertical orientations. ICL size was determined using the KS formula integrated into the imaging device, and postoperative vault measurements were compared between horizontal and vertical fixation groups.
Results: The mean postoperative vault was significantly larger in the horizontal fixation group (0.50 ± 0.20 mm) compared to the vertical fixation group (0.43 ± 0.17 mm; < .001). The proportion of eyes with an extraordinarily high vault (⩾ 1 mm) was significantly higher in the horizontal fixation group (7 of 827 eyes; 0.85%) than in the vertical fixation group (2 of 1,516 eyes; 0.13%; = .012). Prediction error was also significantly greater in the horizontal group (0.08 ± 0.16 vs 0.06 ± 0.14 mm; < .001). Similarly, the median absolute error was significantly larger in the horizontal group (0.108 vs 0.085 mm; < .001).
Conclusions: When ICL sizing is determined using the KS formula, horizontal fixation results in a larger postoperative vault and lower prediction accuracy compared to vertical fixation. These findings support vertical fixation as a potentially safer and more predictable approach for ICL implantation.

Objective: Due to its inherent high instability, the selection of fixation strategies for unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures remains a controversial challenge in the field of traumatic orthopedics. This study focuses on unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures. By applying three different fixation methods, it aims to explore their biomechanical properties and provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical fixation protocols.

Background: The treatment of mandibular angle fractures remains controversial, particularly regarding the method of fixation. The primary aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes following treatment with 1-plate versus 2-plate fixation across two oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics. The secondary aim was to evaluate associations between patient-, trauma-, and procedure-specific factors with postoperative complications and to identify high-risk patients for secondary osteosynthesis.

Histological preparation paraffin embedding is the gold standard method for evaluating tissue structure and composition, whether it is originated from biopsy or engineered . Quite often, deformation and shrinkage occur during the histological preparation, which are difficult to predict and qualify. The present study investigates the morphometric changes in bioprinted hydrogels composed of alginate and gelatine, common tissue engineering materials, focusing on three morphologies: full slabs, porous slabs, and porous cubes.

Purpose: To investigate eye movement dynamics during excimer laser ablation, specifically femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK), and compare movement patterns between the right eye (always operated on first) and the left eye (operated on second), analyzing direction, magnitude, and temporal changes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 92 eyes from 46 patients who underwent FS-LASIK with the SCHWIND AMARIS system (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions). Eye-tracking data were collected to record horizontal and vertical directional movements; variability was assessed using standardized metrics.
