Voorbeelden van contracture

• The other 14% of complications were considered minor in four patients: two infections and two contractures.

• A pathologic capsular contracture, implant deflation, and/or rupture may require revisional surgery years following completion of reconstruction.

• It is sometimes difficult to know whether a fixed posture is due to contracture.

• There were contractures of both upper and lower limbs with swollen wrists and elbow joints.

• Contributing to the dysphagia are delayed triggering of the swallow response and decreased pharyngeal contracture.

• Most studies of implant reconstruction and radiation have reported relatively high rates of capsular contracture and implant loss.

• While capsular contracture occurs to some extent around all implants; in some, the degree of contracture will increase in severity over time.

• Once there, these cells proliferate and actively remodel this biological substrate, resulting in accelerated wound repair with less contracture.

• Differential diagnosis may be enabled by specific facial features or contractures.

• This two-stage approach may be associated with a lower long-term rate of complications or re-operation because of fibrosis and contracture.

• Their implant complications included difficult expansion, infection, and severe contracture.

• No joint contractures or skeletal muscle involvement are observed in these patients.

• They suggested that muscular disruption, followed by fibrosis and contracture, might be the mechanism of relief of cyanosis subsequent to dilation.

• I help patients understand this by comparing a dynamic contracture with a piece of elastic, and a fixed contraction with string.

• Rapid cooling contracture of the myocardium.
