Mechanical quenching phenomenon in diamond.

The structure of dislocation cores, the fundamental knowledge on crystal plasticity, remains largely unexplored in covalent crystals. Here, we conducted atomically resolved characterizations of dislocation core structures in a plastically deformed diamond anvil cell tip that was unloaded from an exceptionally high pressure of 360 GPa. Our observations unveiled a series of nonequilibrium dislocation cores that deviate from the commonly accepted "five-seven-membered ring" dislocation core model found in FCC-structured covalent crystals. The nonequilibrium dislocation cores were generated through a process known as "mechanical quenching," analogous to the quenching process where a high-energy state is rapidly frozen. The density functional theory-based molecular dynamic simulations reveal that the phenomenon of mechanical quenching in diamond arises from the challenging relaxation of the nonequilibrium configuration, necessitating a large critical strain of 25% that is difficult to maintain. Further electronic-scale analysis suggested that such large critical strain is spent on the excitation of valance electrons for bond breaking and rebonding during relaxation. These findings establish a foundation for the plasticity theory of covalent materials and provide insights into the design of electrical and luminescent properties in diamond, which are intimately linked to the dislocation core structure.

Dislocation flow turbulence simultaneously enhances strength and ductility.

Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit outstanding strength attributed to the complex dislocation dynamics as compared to conventional alloys. Here, we develop an atomic-lattice-distortion-dependent discrete dislocation dynamics framework consisted of random field theory and phenomenological dislocation model to investigate the fundamental deformation mechanism underlying massive dislocation motions in body-centered cubic MPEA. Amazingly, the turbulence of dislocation speed is identified in light of strong heterogeneous lattice strain field caused by short-range ordering. Importantly, the vortex from dislocation flow turbulence not only acts as an effective source to initiate dislocation multiplication but also induces the strong local pinning trap to block dislocation movement, thus breaking the strength-ductility trade-off.

Dislocation theory of steady and transient creep of crystalline solids: Predictions for olivine.

In applications critical to the geological, materials, and engineering sciences, deformation occurs at strain rates too small to be accessible experimentally. Instead, extrapolations of empirical relationships are used, leading to epistemic uncertainties in predictions. To address these problems, we construct a theory of the fundamental processes affecting dislocations: storage and recovery. We then validate our theory for olivine deformation. This model explains the empirical relationships among strain rate, applied stress, and dislocation density in disparate laboratory regimes. It predicts the previously unexplained dependence of dislocation density on applied stress in olivine. The predictions of our model for Earth conditions differ from extrapolated empirical relationships. For example, it predicts rapid, transient deformation in the upper mantle, consistent with recent measurements of postseismic creep.

Evolution of dislocation substructures in metals via high-strain-rate nanoindentation.

Deformation at high strain rates often results in high stresses on many engineering materials, potentially leading to catastrophic failure without proper design. High-strain-rate mechanical testing is thus needed to improve the design of future structural materials for a wide range of applications. Although several high-strain-rate mechanical testing techniques have been developed to provide a fundamental understanding of material responses and microstructural evolution under high-strain-rate deformation conditions, these tests are often very time consuming and costly. In this work, we utilize a high-strain-rate nanoindentation testing technique and system in combination with transmission electron microscopy to reveal the deformation mechanisms and dislocation substructures that evolve in pure metals from low (10-2 s-1) to very high indentation strain rates (104 s-1), using face-centered cubic aluminum and body-centered cubic molybdenum as model materials. The results help to establish the conditions under which micro- and macro-scale tests can be compared with validity and also provide a promising pathway that could lead to accelerated high-strain-rate testing at substantially reduced costs.

Bimodal buckling governs human fingers' luxation.

Equilibrium bifurcation in natural systems can sometimes be explained as a route to stress shielding for preventing failure. Although compressive buckling has been known for a long time, its less-intuitive tensile counterpart was only recently discovered and yet never identified in living structures or organisms. Through the analysis of an unprecedented all-in-one paradigm of elastic instability, it is theoretically and experimentally shown that coexistence of two curvatures in human finger joints is the result of an optimal design by nature that exploits both compressive and tensile buckling for inducing luxation in case of traumas, so realizing a unique mechanism for protecting tissues and preventing more severe damage under extreme loads. Our findings might pave the way to conceive complex architectured and bio-inspired materials, as well as next generation artificial joint prostheses and robotic arms for bio-engineering and healthcare applications.

Stress-dependent activation entropy in thermally activated cross-slip of dislocations.

Cross-slip of screw dislocations in crystalline solids is a stress-driven thermally activated process essential to many phenomena during plastic deformation, including dislocation pattern formation, strain hardening, and dynamic recovery. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has played an important role in determining the microscopic mechanisms of cross-slip. However, due to its limited timescale, MD can only predict cross-slip rates in high-stress or high-temperature conditions. The transition state theory can predict the cross-slip rate over a broad range of stress and temperature conditions, but its predictions have been found to be several orders of magnitude too low in comparison to MD results. This discrepancy can be expressed as an anomalously large activation entropy whose physical origin remains unclear. Here, we resolve this discrepancy by showing that the large activation entropy results from anharmonic effects, including thermal softening, thermal expansion, and soft vibrational modes of the dislocation. We expect these anharmonic effects to be significant in a wide range of stress-driven thermally activated processes in solids.

Fluctuations in local shear-fault energy produce unique and dominating strengthening in metastable complex concentrated alloys.

Local chemical short-range ordering (SRO) and spatial fluctuations of planar fault energy are important features of multi-element and metastable complex concentrated alloys (CCAs). Arising from them, dislocations in such alloys are distinctively wavy in both static and migrating conditions; yet, such effects on strength have remained unknown. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations are used to show that the wavy configurations of dislocations and their jumpy motion in a prototypic CCA of NiCoCr are due to the local fluctuations of the energy of SRO shear-faulting that accompanies dislocation motion, with the dislocation getting pinned at sites of hard atomic motifs (HAMs) associated with high local shear-fault energies. Unlike the global averaged shear-fault energy which in general will subdue on successive dislocation passes, the local fluctuations in the fault energy always remain in a CCA, thus offering a strength contribution that is unique in such alloys. Analysis of the magnitude of this form of dislocation resistance shows that this is dominating over contributions due to elastic misfit of alloying elements and is in good agreement with strengths predicted from molecular dynamics simulations and experiments. This work has unfolded the physical basis of strength in CCAs, which is important for the development of these alloys into useful structural materials.

Heterogeneous lattice strain strengthening in severely distorted crystalline solids.

Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit outstanding mechanical properties because the core effect of severe atomic lattice distortion is distinctly different from that of traditional alloys. However, at the mesoscopic scale the underlying physics for the abundant dislocation activities responsible for strength-ductility synergy has not been uncovered. While the Eshelby mean-field approaches become insufficient to tackle yielding and plasticity in severely distorted crystalline solids, here we develop a three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulation approach by taking into account the experimentally measured lattice strain field from a model FeCoCrNiMn MPEA to explore the heterogeneous strain-induced strengthening mechanisms. Our results reveal that the heterogeneous lattice strain causes unusual dislocation behaviors (i.e., multiple kinks/jogs and bidirectional cross slips), resulting in the strengthening mechanisms that underpin the strength-ductility synergy. The outcome of our research sheds important insights into the design of strong yet ductile distorted crystalline solids, such as high-entropy alloys and high-entropy ceramics.

Step-bunching instability of growing interfaces between ice and supercooled water.

SignificanceStep-bunching instability (SBI) is one of the interfacial instabilities driven by self-organization of elementary step flow associated with crystal-growth dynamics, which has been observed in diverse crystalline materials. However, despite theoretical suggestions of its presence, no direct observations of SBI for simple melt growth have been achieved so far. Here, with the aid of a type of optical microscope and its combination with a two-beam interferometer, we realized quantitative in situ observations of the spatiotemporal dynamics of the SBI. This enables us to examine the origin of the SBI at the level of the step-step interaction. We also found that the SBI spontaneously induces a highly stable spiral growth mode, governing the late stage of the growth process.

Double-atom dealloying-derived Frank partial dislocations in cobalt nanocatalysts boost metal-air batteries and fuel cells.

Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), an essential reaction in metal-air batteries and fuel cells, still faces many challenges, such as exploiting cost-effective nonprecious metal electrocatalysts and identifying their surface catalytic sites. Here we introduce bulk defects, Frank partial dislocations (FPDs), into metallic cobalt to construct a highly active and stable catalyst and demonstrate an atomic-level insight into its surface terminal catalysis. Through thermally dealloying bimetallic carbide (Co3ZnC), FPDs were in situ generated in the final dealloyed metallic cobalt. Both theoretical calculations and atomic characterizations uncovered that FPD-driven surface terminations create a distinctive type of surface catalytic site that combines concave geometry and compressive strain, and this two-in-one site intensively weakens oxygen binding. When being evaluated for the ORR, the catalyst exhibits onset and half-wave potentials of 1.02 and 0.90 V (versus the reversible hydrogen electrode), respectively, and negligible activity decay after 30,000 cycles. Furthermore, zinc-air batteries and H2-O2/air fuel cells built with this catalyst also achieve remarkable performance, making it a promising alternative to state-of-the-art Pt-based catalysts. Our findings pave the way for the use of bulk defects to upgrade the catalytic properties of nonprecious electrocatalysts.

Uneven Strain Distribution Induces Consecutive Dislocation Slipping, Plane Gliding, and Subsequent Detwinning of Penta-Twinned Nanoparticles.

Twin structures possess distinct physical and chemical properties by virtue of their specific twin configuration. However, twinning and detwinning processes are not fully understood on the atomic scale. Integrating in situ high resolution transmission electron microscopy and molecular dynamic simulations, we find tensile strain in the asymmetrical 5-fold twins of Au nanoparticles leads to twin boundary migration through dislocation sliding (slipping of an atomic layer) along twin boundaries and dislocation reactions at the 5-fold axis under an electron beam. Migration of one or two layers of twin planes is governed by energy barriers, but overall, the total energy, including surface, lattice strain, and twin boundary energy, is relaxed after consecutive twin boundary migration, leading to a detwinning process. In addition, surface rearrangement of 5-fold twinned nanoparticles can aid in the detwinning process.

T2 Mapping of Patellar Cartilage After a Single First-Time Episode of Traumatic Lateral Patellar Dislocation.

BACKGROUND: In most cases, lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) is accompanied by chondral injury and may initiate gradual degeneration of patellar cartilage, which might be detected with a T2 mapping, a well-established method for cartilage lesions assessment. PURPOSE: To examine short-term consequences of single first-time LPD in teenagers by T2 mapping of the patellar-cartilage state. STUDY TYPE: Prospective. POPULATION: 95 patients (mean age: 15.1 ± 2.3; male/female: 46/49) with first-time, complete, traumatic LPD and 51 healthy controls (mean age: 14.7 ± 2.2, male/female: 29/22). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3.0 T; axial T2 mapping acquired using a 2D turbo spin-echo sequence. ASSESSMENT: MRI examination was conducted 2-4 months after first LPD. T2 values were calculated in manually segmented cartilage area via averaging over three middle level slices in six cartilage regions: deep, intermediate, superficial layers, and medial lateral parts. STATISTICAL TESTS: ANOVA analysis with Tukey's multiple comparison test, one-vs.-rest logistic regression analysis. The threshold of significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS: In lateral patellar cartilage, a significant increase in T2 values was found in deep and intermediate layers in both patient groups with mild (deep: 34.7 vs. 31.3 msec, intermediate: 38.7 vs. 34.6 msec, effect size = 0.55) and severe (34.8 vs. 31.3 msec, 39.1 vs. 34.6 msec, 0.55) LPD consequences as compared to controls. In the medial facet, only severe cartilage damage showed significant prolongation of T2 times in the deep layer (34.3 vs. 30.7 msec, 0.55). No significant changes in T2 values were found in the lateral superficial layer (P = 0.99), whereas mild chondromalacia resulted in a significant decrease of T2 in the medial superficial layer (41.0 vs. 43.8 msec, 0.55). DATA CONCLUSION: The study revealed substantial difference in T2 changes after LPD between medial and lateral areas of patellar cartilage. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

Vertebral artery dissection caused by atlantoaxial dislocation in a patient with Marfan syndrome.

A small number of case reports have documented a link between atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) and vertebral artery dissection (VAD), but this association has never been described in patients with hereditary connective tissue disorders. We present a case of an 18-year-old female patient, diagnosed with Marfan syndrome since the age of one, who underwent brain MRA for intracranial aneurysm screening revealing tortuosity of the internal carotid and vertebral arteries as well as atlantoaxial dislocation. Since the patient was asymptomatic, a wait-and-see approach was chosen, but a follow-up MRA after 18 months showed the appearance of a dissecting pseudoaneurysm of the V3 segment of the left vertebral artery. Despite the patient being still asymptomatic, it was decided to proceed with C1-C2 stabilization to prevent further vascular complications. Follow-up imaging showed realignment of the atlantoaxial joint and reduction of the dissecting pseudoaneurysm of the left vertebral artery. In our patient, screening MRA has led to the discovery of asymptomatic arterial and skeletal abnormalities which, if left untreated, might have led to severe cerebrovascular complications. Therefore, AAD correction or close monitoring with MRA should be provided to MFS patients with this craniovertebral junction anomaly, even if asymptomatic.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of ulnar nerve morphology in patients with ulnar nerve instability.

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Ulnar nerve instability (UNI) in the retroepicondylar groove is described as nerve subluxation or dislocation. In this study, considering that instability may cause chronic ulnar nerve damage by increasing the friction risk, we aimed to examine the effects of UNI on nerve morphology ultrasonographically. METHODS: Asymptomatic patients with clinical suspicion of UNI were referred for further clinical and ultrasonographic examination. Based on ulnar nerve mobility on ultrasound, the patients were first divided into two groups: stable and unstable. The unstable group was further divided into two subgroups: subluxation and dislocation. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the nerve was measured in three regions relative to the medial epicondyle (ME). RESULTS: In the ultrasonographic evaluation, UNI was identified in 59.1% (52) of the 88 elbows. UNI was bilateral in 50% (22) of the 44 patients. Mean CSA was not significantly different between groups. A statistically significant difference in ulnar nerve mobility was found between the group with CSA of <10 versus ≥10 mm2 (p = .027). Nerve instability was found in 85.7% of elbows with an ulnar nerve CSA value of ≥10 mm2 at the ME level. DISCUSSION: The probability of developing neuropathy in patients with UNI may be higher than in those with normal nerve mobility. Further prospective studies are required to elucidate whether asymptomatic individuals with UNI and increased CSA may be at risk for developing symptomatic ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.

The dissociation of (a+c) misfit dislocations at the InGaN/GaN interface.

In hexagonal materials, (a+c) dislocations are typically observed to dissociate into partial dislocations. Edge (a+c) dislocations are introduced into (0001) nitride semiconductor layers by the process of plastic relaxation. As there is an increasing interest in obtaining relaxed InGaN buffer layers for the deposition of high In content structures, the study of the dissociation mechanism of misfit (a+c) dislocations laying at the InGaN/GaN interface is then crucial for understanding their nucleation and glide mechanisms. In the case of the presented plastically relaxed InGaN layers deposited on GaN substrates, we observe a trigonal network of (a+c) dislocations extending at the interface with a rotation of 3° from <1 1 ¯ $\bar 1$ 00> directions. High-resolution microscopy studies show that these dislocations are dissociated into two Frank-Shockley 1/6<2 2 ¯ $\bar 2$ 03> partial dislocations with the I1 BSF spreading between them. Atomistic simulations of a dissociated edge (a+c) dislocation revealed a 3/5-atom ring structure for the cores of both partial dislocations. The observed separation between two partial dislocations must result from the climb of at least one of the dislocations during the dissociation process, possibly induced by the mismatch stress in the InGaN layer.

Knee landmarks detection via deep learning for automatic imaging evaluation of trochlear dysplasia and patellar height.

OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a deep learning-based approach to automatically measure the patellofemoral instability (PFI) indices related to patellar height and trochlear dysplasia in knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. METHODS: A total of 763 knee MRI slices from 95 patients were included in the study, and 3393 anatomical landmarks were annotated for measuring sulcus angle (SA), trochlear facet asymmetry (TFA), trochlear groove depth (TGD) and lateral trochlear inclination (LTI) to assess trochlear dysplasia, and Insall-Salvati index (ISI), modified Insall-Salvati index (MISI), Caton Deschamps index (CDI) and patellotrochlear index (PTI) to assess patellar height. A U-Net based network was implemented to predict the landmarks' locations. The successful detection rate (SDR) and the mean absolute error (MAE) evaluation metrics were used to evaluate the performance of the network. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was also used to evaluate the reliability of the proposed framework to measure the mentioned PFI indices. RESULTS: The developed models achieved good accuracy in predicting the landmarks' locations, with a maximum value for the MAE of 1.38 ± 0.76 mm. The results show that LTI, TGD, ISI, CDI and PTI can be measured with excellent reliability (ICC > 0.9), and SA, TFA and MISI can be measured with good reliability (ICC > 0.75), with the proposed framework. CONCLUSIONS: This study proposes a reliable approach with promising applicability for automatic patellar height and trochlear dysplasia assessment, assisting the radiologists in their clinical practice. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The objective knee landmarks detection on MRI images provided by artificial intelligence may improve the reproducibility and reliability of the imaging evaluation of trochlear anatomy and patellar height, assisting radiologists in their clinical practice in the patellofemoral instability assessment. KEY POINTS: • Imaging evaluation of patellofemoral instability is subjective and vulnerable to substantial intra and interobserver variability. • Patellar height and trochlear dysplasia are reliably assessed in MRI by means of artificial intelligence (AI). • The developed AI framework provides an objective evaluation of patellar height and trochlear dysplasia enhancing the clinical practice of the radiologists.

The effectiveness and safety of temporary transvenous cardiac pacing leads placement into coronary sinus vein in patients with sick sinus syndrome.

BACKGROUND: The temporary pacing lead routinely is placed into right ventricular (RV), which pose a risk of dislocation and cardiac perforation. OBJECTIVE: We aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of temporary transvenous cardiac pacing (TTCP) leads placement into the coronary sinus vein (CSV) in patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS). METHODS: We investigated patients with SSS who underwent TTCP lead placement into the CSV under the guidance of X-ray between January 2013 and May 2023. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: RV group (n = 33) and CSV group (n = 22). The ordinary passive bipolar electrodes were applied in both groups. In RV groups, electrodes were placed into RV. In CSV group, electrodes were placed into CSV. We evaluated the operation duration, fluoroscopic exposure, first-attempt success rate of leads placement, pacing threshold, success rate of leads placement, rate of leads displacement, and complications. RESULTS: Compared with that in RV group, the procedure time, fluoroscopic exposure was significantly prolonged, while the first-attempt success rate of lead placement was obviously increased in CSV group (both p < .05). Compared with that in RV group, the rate of leads displacement is lower in CSV group (both p < .05). There were three patients occurred cardiac perforation in RV group, but no cardiac perforation was reported in CSV group (p > .05). CONCLUSION: TTCP leads placement into the CSV is an effective and safe strategy in patients with SSS. It indicates a high rate of pacing effectiveness with low device replacement and complication rates.

Upward-directed exit-site of the swan-neck catheter and "Easy-to-disinfect the backside area of exit-site" may prevent PD complications.

BACKGROUND: Upward-directed exit-site has been believed to be the worst for frequent ESI by an old retrospective study using straight catheters. No comparison study of 3 exit-site directions using swan-neck catheter has been performed regarding which direction is the best for our endpoints, Easy-to-see the backside area of exit-site: ESBE, Easy-to-disinfect the backside area of exit-site: EDBE, reduction of both exit-site infection (ESI), symptomatic catheter dislocation and peritonitis. METHODS: We assessed the relationship of exit-site direction with our endpoints in a quantitative cross-sectional, multicentered questionnaire survey. Patients who received either non-surgical catheter implantation or exit-site surgery were excluded. RESULTS: The numbers (percentage) of exit-site directions in included 291 patients were upward 79 (26.0), lateralward 108 (37.5) and downward 105 (36.5). Cochran-Armitage analysis showed a significant step-ladder increase in the prevalence of ESI as the direction changed from upward to lateralward to downward (0.15 ± 0.41, 0.25 ± 0.54, 0.38 ± 0.69 episodes/patient-year, p = 0.03). Multivariable regression analysis revealed the upward exit-site independently associates with both higher frequency of ESBE (OR 5.55, 95% CI 2.23-16.45, p < 0.01) and reduction of prevalence of ESI (OR 0.55, 95%CI 0.27-0.98, p = 0.04). Positive association between the prevalence of symptomatic catheter dislocation and ESI (OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.27-7.82, p = 0.01), and inverse association between EDBE and either prevalence of symptomatic catheter dislocation (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.11-0.72) or peritonitis (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.23-0.99) observed. CONCLUSION: Upward-directed swan-neck catheter exit-site may be the best for both ESBE and prevention of ESI. EDBE may reduce catheter dislocation and peritonitis. Symptomatic catheter dislocation may predict ESI.

Single-Center Long-Term Results of Popliteal Artery Blunt Trauma Management Following Knee Dislocation - A Case Series Study.

OBJECTIVES: Injury to the popliteal artery after knee dislocation, if not promptly diagnosed and properly treated, can have devastating results. The purpose of this retrospective study was to describe the diagnostic and the treatment protocol we use, as well as provide long-term outcomes for a series of patients treated in our tertiary hospital, emphasizing on the importance of ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement as an integral component of the diagnostic approach. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of all admissions to our hospital trauma center between November 1996 and July 2023, with a diagnosis of knee dislocation and the presence or absence of concomitant arterial injury resulting from blunt high energy trauma, was conducted. Before 2006, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and/or computed tomography angiography (CTA) were part of the diagnostic approach (Group A). After 2006, the ankle-brachial index (ABI) was used as a first-line test to diagnose arterial damage (Group B). The Tegner and Lysholm scores were chosen to assess patients' postoperative impairment between groups, taking also in account the presence or absence of vascular injury. The Mann-Whitney U test and a univariate analysis of variance were used for the statistical analysis of scores. RESULTS: Overall, 55 patients were identified, and 21 of them (38.2%) had injuries to the popliteal artery, all of which were treated with a reversed great saphenous venous bypass. Out of the 21 patients, 4 (4.3%) developed compartment syndrome, which was treated with fasciotomies, and 1 leg (1.8%) was amputated above the knee. With no patients lost to follow-up, all but one (95%) of the vascular repairs are still patent, and the limbs show no signs of ischemia after a mean follow-up of 6 years. The Tegner and Lysholm score means were similar between groups A and B and independent of the presence of vascular injury and the diagnostic protocol used. Interestingly, an ABI below 0.9 proved to be predictive of arterial injury. CONCLUSION: A high level of awareness for the presence of popliteal artery injury should exist and an ABI measurement should be routinely performed in the management of all cases of knee dislocation. This way, less patients will undergo unnecessary CTA scanning, and hardly any popliteal artery injuries can go missing, as suggested by our study.

A case of iridoschisis with partial lens dislocation in both eyes.

BACKGROUND: Iridoschisis is a rare condition that primarily affects individuals aged 60-70 years. The predominant characteristics of iridoschisis involve the tissue splitting and separation of the iris stromal layers, often resulting in two distinct layers and the presence of floating fibers in the anterior chamber. This article reports the case of a 48-year-old male with iridoschisis with partial lens dislocation in both eyes. CASE PRESENTATION: Trauma is the leading factor in the development of iridoschisis. However, there is no documented case of ocular trauma in the patient's medical history. Visible white atrophic fibers were observed bilaterally in the anterior iris stroma of both eyes of the individual, accompanied by a small quantity of iris tissue within the anterior chamber. In this instance, the magnitude of the iridoschisis corresponded with the degree of lens dislocation. We were apprised that the patient had regularly used a cervical massager for a prolonged period of time, positioning it upon the ocular region. Frequent stimulation of both eyes with excessive force resulted in the development of iridoschisis and the partial dislocation of the lens.During the initial surgical procedure, phacoemulsification (Phaco) was carried out on the left eye without the placement of an intraocular lens (IOL). Following a two-month interval, we proceeded with the IOL suspension. Subsequently, the right eye underwent Phaco, accompanied by the implantation of an IOL. After closely monitoring the patient's progress for two months, it was evident that their vision had significantly improved, substantiating the success of the surgical interventions. CONCLUSIONS: This finding posits that the recurrent friction applied to both eyes may induce iridoschisis and various ocular complications. In the event of ocular intricacies manifesting, expeditious medical intervention becomes imperative.
