Comparative StudyTraumatic globe rupture following penetrating keratoplasty.
To evaluate the mechanism, clinical characteristics, management and visual outcome of ocular trauma following penetrating keratoplasty (PK). ⋯ Traumatic wound dehiscence may occur, and the prognosis is poor after the injury. Globe rupture at the graft-host junction showed persistence of wound weakness even a long time after PK. Prevention of ocular trauma should be performed following PK.
