DOI: 10.1002/jor.23419
Abstract: This study aimed to elucidate how rats recover from immobilization‐induced knee joint contracture. Rats’ right knees were immobilized by an external fixator at a flexion of 140° for 3 weeks. After removal of the fixator,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.70104
Abstract: Contracture recurrence is a common setback to burn reconstruction, especially for severe or large‐area contractures. Flap‐based burn reconstruction has been shown to result in lower recurrent contracture rates. This study aims to summarize and evaluate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00132-017-3387-5
Abstract: BACKGROUND In the operative treatment of Dupuytren's disease, in certain cases proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contracture remains after fasciectomy due to shrinkage, shortening, and/or adhesion of the periarticular structures. OBJECTIVES How can a residual flexion contracture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00266-017-0965-1
Abstract: AbstractBackgroundCapsular contracture has been the most common complication of cosmetic breast augmentation. The effect of incision pattern on capsular contracture is still unclear. This meta-analysis demonstrates current evidence with regard to the comparison of capsular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00266-020-01816-w
Abstract: In order to reexamine the possible association between bacterial presence and capsular contracture, 55 silicone devices (mammary implants or tissue expanders) were cultured at the time of their removal from 40 patients. Special culture techniques… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10753-018-0788-5
Abstract: Joint inflammation following remobilization is an important factor in the progression of arthrogenic contracture. We evaluated the effects of an anti-inflammatory treatment during the remobilization period of recovery after joint immobilization in rats. Three groups… read more here.
