Ultrasound Criteria and Baker Scale for Breast Implant Capsular Contracture Diagnosis

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022
Background: Due to the subjectivity of the Baker scale in grading capsular contracture (CC), an objective and reproducible measurement tool is necessary to estimate the presence and grade of CC in patients with breast implants. This study aimed to assess

Endoscopic Transaxillary Capsular Contracture Treatment

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2007
Traditionally, 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 ...

Capsular Contractures: A Systematic Review

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2009
The aim of this article was to review the current literature on capsular contractures, focusing in particular on the epidemiology, risk factors, cause, and treatment modalities, to provide the plastic surgeon with an up-to-date review of the current available evidence.A literature search was undertaken of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central ...

Development and Validation of a Diagnostic Histopathological Scoring System for Capsular Contracture Based on 720 Breast Implant Capsules.

Aesthetic surgery journal
BACKGROUND Capsular contracture is traditionally evaluated using the Baker classification. However, this classification has notable limitations in reproducibility and objectivity.

Talc and Capsular Contracture

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.

Transcriptome of capsular contracture around breast implants mimics allograft rejection: a matched case-control study.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
BACKGROUND Capsular contracture is a frequent and severe complication following breast implant surgery. Although several theories on the pathophysiology exist, the exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the specific genes,

Myofibroblasts and Capsular Tissue Tension in Breast Capsular Contracture

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2010
This 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.

Posterior Capsular Contracture of the Shoulder

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2006
Posterior 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 ...
