The progress of surgical treatment of spine fractures leads to new problems in the assessment of these patients. Possible consequences of this treatment are discussed (especially approach-caused faults in muscle or pulmonary function). Beside the length and localisation of the fusion the strain on the adjacent movement segments have to be considered. The different function of the different regions of the spine is also represented. The possible "MdE" is discussed under consideration of the above criteria.

Background: Mastopexy combined with implant placement is a complex cosmetic surgery due to the dual nature of the procedure. Various mammoplasty techniques and implant types add to its intricacy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an internal breast lift in correcting pseudoptosis, grade 1 breast ptosis, and asymmetries, thereby offering a safer alternative with reduced morbidity and avoiding the creation of an inverted T scar.
