Clinical Trial Outcomes of High- and Extra High–Profile Breast Implants

Editor's Note on: clinical trial outcomes of high- and extra high-profile breast implants.

BACKGROUND Clinical data concerning potential risks and benefits associated with the use of high- and extra high-profile breast implants are lacking. OBJECTIVES The authors assess the risk of adverse events (AE) with high- and extra high-profile breast implants compared with low- to moderate-profile breast implants in patients enrolled in long-term clinical studies. METHODS Relative risks (...

High- and extra-high-projection breast implants: potential consequences for patients.

All breast implants can potentially have deleterious effects on patients' tissues. Limiting negative tissue consequences and potential uncorrectable deformities requires that surgeons be aware and educate patients regarding potential consequences of various implant designs. High-profile implants have been available for decades, and during the current decade, extra-high-profile implants have bec...

Clinical Outcomes of Intramedullary and Extramedullary Fixation in Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: The best method for repairing intertrochanteric fractures is still controversial. The fixation methods includeextramedullary (EM) and intramedullary (IM). Studies that compare IM and EM fixations for unstable hip fractures arerare. In this study, our goal was to compare the efficacy of EM and IM fixation in treatment of unstable intertrochantericfractures.Met...

Outcome of short implants as an alternative to sinus lift surgery and standard-length implants for rehabilitation of atrophic posterior maxilla: A clinical trial

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of short implants (<8 mm length) as an alternative to sinus lift surgery and placement of standard-length implants (10-12 mm length) for rehabilitation of atrophic posterior maxilla. Materials and Methods: In this prospective clinical trial, 26 patients with 6-7 mm of residual alveolar bone height in their atrophic posterior ...
