Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of two-point fixation for biological mesh in laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair.
Study Design: Case series.
Place And Duration Of Study: The first Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University Hospital, Fuzhou, China, from January to December 2019.
Methodology: A total of 38 patients with a primary inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic TEP repair with a small intestine submucosal matrix biological mesh were included. A novel two-point fixation method was performed at the level of 2 cm above the upper margin of the hernia ring. The mesh was fixed at 3 cm medial and lateral to the inferior epigastric artery. The recurrence rate, surgical site infection rate, postoperative chronic pain, hematoma/seroma, and chronic pain were evaluated.
Results: There was no conversion to open procedure. The surgical time was 60.0 (range 35-72) min, and the time of mesh fixation was 4.00 (range 2.5-6.0) minutes. All patients were discharged on the first postoperative day and had similar pain scores (VAS score = 1). Hematoma/seroma was detected in only three (7.9%) patients. No infection or recurrence was observed.
Conclusion: The two-point fixation for biological mesh is reliable and easy to perform. Further study with a larger sample size may be needed to validate it.

Background: To analyze the biomechanical and functional characteristics of different maxillary fixation techniques after Le Fort I osteotomy and occlusal plane rotation, using the finite element method to simulate the mechanical behavior of three different osteosynthesis approaches.
Material And Methods: This is a virtual experimental study carried out using finite element analysis to compare three different osteosynthesis techniques after Le Fort I osteotomy and rotation of the maxillary occlusal plane. Three configurations were tested: four-point fixation with "L" plates (C1), two-point fixation with "L" plates (C2), and two-point fixation with pre-modeled Lindorf plates (C3).
Comparison of Two-Point Versus Three-Point Fixation in Treatment of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures: An Updated Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are a prevalent form of craniofacial trauma. However, no universally accepted fixation method has been established to prevent postreduction displacement in ZMC fractures.
Methods: Computerized and additional manual searches of the Medline, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Cochrane Central database for potential studies, published from inception to May 2024, were performed.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares two fixation methods for mid-pole patellar fractures: the traditional metal tension band vs. all-suture fixation and suture fixation with bioabsorbable screws.
- A total of 18 patients were analyzed, with outcomes like time to union and range of motion tracked for at least a year.
- Results show both fixation methods were similar in terms of healing, with only minor complications reported in the hybrid group, suggesting non-metal approaches may be effective alternatives.

Article Synopsis
- The zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) is a key part of the facial skeleton that often suffers fractures, making their management a subject of debate among practitioners due to various treatment techniques available.
- The aim of the study was to systematically review existing literature to determine whether two-point or three-point fixation is more effective for treating ZMC fractures, utilizing a meta-analysis approach.
- The review included 11 studies, with 8 suitable for meta-analysis, analyzing treatment outcomes and applying statistical methods to assess the effectiveness of the fixation techniques.
