Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess 1-year outcomes of sacral colpopexy with the use of allograft fascia lata.
Study Design: Records of all subjects who underwent sacral colpopexy with allograft fascia lata from May 1, 2001, to April 30, 2003, were reviewed. Subjects underwent pre- and postoperative evaluation of prolapse with the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system. The Fisher's exact test was used to analyze the results.
Results: Allograft fascia lata was used for 24 colpopexies during this period. No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications or graft erosions occurred. Five subjects were lost to follow-up after 3 months. Analysis was performed on the remaining 19 subjects. Prolapse of stage 2 or more in compartments Aa, Ba, Ap, Bp, and C was preoperatively 50%, 74%, 78%, 84%, and 68% and postoperatively 11%, 16%, 21%, 26%, and 5%, respectively.
Conclusion: Allograft fascia lata may be a suitable alternative to permanent mesh for sacral colpopexy, but longer-term outcomes and larger studies are needed.

Fascia Lata Allograft Superior Capsule Reconstruction Restores Glenohumeral Translation but Alters Glenohumeral Kinematics at Low Abduction Angles.

Background: There is a relative paucity of studies examining how the superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) may alter the kinematics of the glenohumeral joint capsule itself, specifically with respect to rotation and translation in the anterior-posterior and superior-inferior planes. This then raises the possibility that the SCR may be having unintended consequences on glenohumeral kinematics. The purpose of this study was to quantify the glenohumeral joint kinematics following Fascia Lata SCR (FL-SCR).

Purpose: To evaluate the minimum 12-month clinical and radiologic outcomes of combined superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) and lower trapezius transfer (LTT) for posterosuperior irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCTs).
Methods: Patients with posterosuperior IMRCTs and severe fatty infiltration (Goutallier grade ≥3) of the infraspinatus who underwent combined SCR and LTT were retrospectively reviewed. A double-folded fascia lata autograft with 1 layer of polypropylene mesh inside was used for SCR, and an Achilles tendon allograft was used to connect the tendon of the lower trapezius to the greater tuberosity.

Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.

Lateral patellar dislocation is irrefutably one of the most common knee injuries, while subsequent medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) damage requires proper orthopedic care. Treatment of these injuries is regularly associated with the need for MPFL reconstruction surgery. This operation, often in combination with other procedures, can result very fruitful in restoring knee kinematics.

Simultaneous reconstruction after removal of nasal silicone implants was published as diced, autologous rib and ear auricular cartilages, and each had their shortcomings. Temporoparietal fascial grafts were used for facial and nasal contouring, vascularized tissue coverage, and augmentation the nose, lip. The temporoparietal fascia graft may be considered for in-time replacement of allografts and remaining bulkiness.
