Vascularized fibular grafting following tumor resection demonstrates acceptable long-term outcomes in Denmark: a national retrospective cohort study.

Background And Purpose:  Vascularized fibular grafting following tumor resection is an essential treatment option in limb salvage surgery. We aimed to evaluate: (I) bone healing, (II) complications and reoperations, (III) limb salvage, and (IV) survival.

Methods:  We present a retrospective evaluation of a national cohort comprising 27 patients.

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

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, signaling pathways, and immune cells associated with capsular contracture.

Silicone Leakage from Breast Implants Is Determined by Silicone Cohesiveness: A Histologic Study of 493 Patients.

Background: Silicone leakage from breast implants is a concern with potential implications for patient health. This study aimed to quantify and model silicone leakage from implants to the breast implant capsule and to investigate whether silicone cohesiveness affected the silicone leakage rate.

Methods: Silicone content in the breast implant capsule was quantified histologically by measuring the area of silicone deposits.

Long-term volume retention of breast augmentation with fat grafting depends on weight changes: a three-year prospective MRI study.

Background: Fat grafting is increasingly used for breast augmentation. However, long-term volume retention, time to reach steady state, and the effect of postoperative weight changes on these outcomes are not fully understood.

Methods: In this prospective study, we included patients undergoing breast augmentation with fat grafting and examined them with MRI preoperatively and up to three years postoperatively.
