Article Abstract
Introduction And Hypothesis: There is currently no data on the safety and efficacy of the Advantage sling despite its widespread use.
Methods: We compared the efficiency and safety outcome data of 556 tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and 108 Advantage slings after assessing for potential confounding factors.
Results: The two groups proved comparable. Bladder injury rates were 4.6% for the Advantage group and 2.9% for the TVT group (p = 0.36). Subjective stress incontinence cure were 83.3% and 85.3%, respectively (p = 0.66). Incidences of de novo urgency, urge incontinence, and voiding difficulties were 22.2% vs 14.7% (p = 0.06), 9.3% vs 7.4% (p = 0.55), and 11.1% vs 6.7% (p = 0.11), respectively.
Conclusions: No major differences between the two slings were observed apart from a non-significant trend towards more de novo urgency and voiding difficulty symptoms with the Advantage group. It may be possible that due to its different biomechanical properties, the Advantage slings should be left looser.

Sling Results in Better Sleep Quality and Less Anxiety Early After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Randomized Single-Blinded Trial.
Am J Sports Med
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Background: Sleep disturbance is commonly reported by patients wearing an abduction brace after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Although a sling has been proven noninferior to an abduction brace for function and repair integrity, there is no evidence-based medical support for the advantage of the sling in improving sleep quality compared with a brace.
Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to compare the effects of a sling and an abduction brace on sleep quality and clinical outcomes after ARCR.

Article Synopsis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common but progressive condition that can lead to serious complications, and about 40% of patients don’t respond to proton pump inhibitors as treatment.
- The 360° Nissen fundoplication has been the standard surgical treatment for GERD for 70 years, but partial fundoplications like Toupet and Dor have developed as alternatives to reduce side effects such as dysphagia.
- Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is deemed safe and effective, highlighting the need for tailored approaches in clinics that provide comprehensive care for individual GERD cases.
The biomechanical assessment of two stemless shoulder arthroplasty prostheses in uniformly poor-quality bone mineral density cadaveric specimens.

Electronic address:
Background: Stemless shoulder arthroplasty offers several advantages, such as preserving bone stock and reducing periprosthetic fracture risk. However, implant motion can deter osteointegration and increase bone resorption, where micromotion less than 0.150 mm is crucial for bony ingrowth and vital to the success of the implant.

Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is an immunologically inert graft, typically from cadaveric skin, often used in postmastectomy breast reconstruction. Created from decellularized dermal tissues that have been treated to remove DNA and antigenic donor cells (leaving extracellular matrix), ADM is often used as a structural scaffold or sling to reinforce and support the structure and position of a breast implant during postoperative integration in implant-based breast reconstruction; ADM can also be used to fill cosmetic defects. Advantages of ADM use include improved cosmesis and reduced capsular contracture rates.

Article Synopsis
- Intramedullary straight nail fixation for proximal humeral fractures has several benefits over plating, including reduced soft-tissue damage, enhanced stability for complex fractures, and shorter surgery time for easier cases.
- The procedure involves positioning the patient in a beach-chair position, reducing the fracture using closed methods or percutaneously, and making a small incision near the acromioclavicular joint to insert a guide-pin for nail placement.
- After confirming the proper alignment via fluoroscopy, proximal and distal locking screws are inserted through a targeting jig, followed by irrigation and closure of the incision for postoperative care.
