BACKGROUND The advantages of dual-plane, partially submuscular breast implants are well documented. Standard conversion techniques to dual-plane positioning use marionette sutures and internal capsulorrhaphy sutures from the lower edge of the pectoralis major muscle to the anterior capsule or breast fascia within the subglandular plane. These techniques are limited by high rates of postoperativ...

Background: Augmentation mammoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, but there a high reoperation rate (29.7%) commonly due to capsular contracture, implant malpositioning, infection, and unsatisfactory size. Although infection only accounts for 2% cases, its management very challenging, especially with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection. Breast prosthetic NTM rare disas...

An eight-year-old, male, thoracic limb amputee Whippet presented with a traumatic lateral luxation of the scapulohumeral joint. Surgical reduction and stabilisation of the shoulder joint by means of a modified Campbell scapulohumeral prosthesis and capsulorrhaphy was unsuccessful and reluxation of the shoulder joint occurred. Subsequent surgical stabilisation using bicipital tendon transpositio...

capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. on the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. a weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. the cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...

BACKGROUND There is still debate about the best treatment option for highly recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in patients with severe impairment of the anterior capsule and/or recurrence after either arthroscopic or open capsulorrhaphy. Materials and. METHODS The clinical and radiological findings of 7 patients treated with an open capsulorrhaphy stabilized with an "8 plate" for a highl...
