Posterior Capsular Contracture of the Shoulder
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2006Posterior capsular contracture is a common cause of shoulder pain in which the patient presents with restricted internal rotation and reproduction of pain. Increased anterosuperior translation of the humeral head occurs with forward flexion and can mimic the pain reported with impingement syndrome; however, the patient with impingement syndrome ...

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2004
Capsular contracture, constrictive tightening of scar tissue around implants, was historically the primary reason for reoperating breast-implanted women. Yet, capsular contracture remains of unknown etiology. Contamination with foreign material is one of several suspected causes. Talc, a known fibrogenic agent, was recently found in peri-implant scars.

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1999
The etiology of capsular contracture is unclear and probably multifactorial. This review covers the literature on several proposed contracture factors, including filler material, implant placement, surface texture, and bacterial infection. The pilot study's goal was to test the feasibility of a data collection form, which could be used in a scaled-up ...

Relationship of Incision Choice to Capsular Contracture
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2007Capsular contracture can be an ongoing problem in breast augmentation even with good surgical technique. In the author's practice, a higher incidence of capsular contracture was observed with the use of a periareolar incision than with an inframammary incision.A review of breast augmentations performed from November 2004 through June 2006 was conducted.

Myofibroblasts and Capsular Tissue Tension in Breast Capsular Contracture
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2010This study aimed to observe the relationship between the number of myofibroblasts, the tensile strength of the breast implant capsule, and the degree of breast capsular contracture.The study enrolled 21 women with 31 capsular contractures after aesthetic breast augmentation.

The Effects of Zafirlukast on Capsular Contracture: Preliminary Report
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2006Capsular contracture after breast augmentation is a distressing, troublesome event both for the patient and the surgeon. Fibrosis transforms the prosthesis into a hardened sphere, turning the initially satisfactory cosmetic result into a deformed mass. Treatment for capsular contracture can be either surgical, consisting of capsulotomy or capsulectomy ...

Endoscopic Transaxillary Capsular Contracture Treatment
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2007Traditionally, breast implant extraction and capsular contracture treatment are performed using the transareolar approach. However, this approach is not acceptable to Chinese patients because of the additional scar formation. The authors present their experience using capsular contracture treatment using transaxillary endoscopic assistance without the ...

Radiation Therapy as a Cause of Capsular Contracture
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1994The effect of radiation therapy on the final result of breast reconstruction has been debated in the literature. We have had 4 patients with bilateral breast reconstruction who then received unilateral radiation therapy. We noted in all 4 that the irradiated side became contracted, whereas the nonradiated breast reconstruction remained soft.

Mammary Compliance: An Objective Measurement of Capsular Contracture
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2004Capsular contracture is the most unpredictable complication after mammary augmentation. It presents an uncertain evolution, and is one of the most difficulty complications to treat. Evaluation of this condition usually was relegated to the surgeon's judgment, but currently there are three methods for measuring capsular contracture: palpation ...
