Addition of PROMIS Pain Instruments to PROMIS Upper Extremity Physical Function Improves the Responsiveness of PROMIS scores compared to Legacy scores in patients undergoing Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Prospective Study.

Introduction: Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information Systems (PROMIS) is increasingly being utilized across the United States as a patient reported outcome evaluation tool for a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. However, PROMIS Upper Extremity physical function (P-UE) has demonstrated limited responsiveness in the early postoperative period after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The aim of this study is to determine if addition of PROMIS Pain Interference (P-Interference) or Pain Intensity (P-Intensity) scores improve the ability to detect postoperative changes in the one-year postoperative period following TSA.

Role of lymphadenectomy in advanced-stage ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis.

Background: Epithelial Ovarian Cancer is one of the most lethal cancers among gynecologic malignancies. The disease metastasizes mainly through the peritoneal spread in the abdomen and through the lymphatic system. Lymph node involvement is present in 48% up to 75% of cases of advanced-stage ovarian cancer (ASOC).

Laparoscopic Shull Technique for Uterine Prolapse and Risk of Recurrences: A Retrospective Comparison with Vaginal Hysterectomy.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to compare the vaginal and laparoscopic approaches with natural tissue vaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in terms of recurrence rate and complete remission rate (CRR) of symptoms.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed women who underwent hysterectomy for uterine prolapse at two Italian hospitals between October 2021 and March 2023. Group A included 89 patients who received vaginal hysterectomy and colposuspension (VCH), whereas group B included 58 patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy followed by laparoscopic colposuspension sec Shull (LPSS).

Learning curve for the open Latarjet procedure: a single-surgeon study.

Background: The popularity of the Latarjet procedure (LP) for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability continues to rise. However, LP is technically demanding and associated with complications. This study aims to determine the learning curve for the open LP (oLP) and the threshold for proficiency.

Vascularized Bone Reconstruction for Recalcitrant Clavicular Nonunion: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Purpose: Clavicular nonunion is an uncommon complication with a significant impact on quality of life and can be difficult to manage. In recalcitrant cases, or situations unfavorable for take of nonvascularized grafts, vascularized osseous reconstruction may be utilized. Several donor sites for such flaps have been described, with each associated with unique benefits and drawbacks.
