Objective(s): Management and localisation strategies to remove nonpalpable contraceptive implants may be difficult. We aimed to evaluate our imaging modalities to identify deep implant and patient outcomes related to removal.
Study Design: In this retrospective study, we reviewed all cases referred to our specialised centre for nonpalpable contraceptive implants from January 2018 to August 2022.
Background: Surgical incision with drainage remains the first-line therapy recommendation for breast abscesses greater than 5 cm.
Purpose: To determine recovery with ultrasound guided (US-guided) procedures for treatment of lactational breast abscesses without surgical incision for drainage.
Material And Methods: Institutional review board approval and written informed patient consent were obtained for this retrospective study.

In this case study, we report on a tumorous dissemination along the screw trajectory after POC was used for the prevention of an impending pathological fracture on a trochanteric metastasis.
