title: Use of shear wave sonoelastography in capsular contracture before and after secondary surgery: report of two cases.
abstract: We present two cases of patients undergoing secondary surgery due to Baker III and IV contracture, with detailed sonoelastography evaluation before and after the surgery. It is probably the first case where the use of sonoelastography has enabled plane colour-coded analysis of regions with different stiffness (Young moduli, kPa). The obtained results have been compared with applanation tonometry.
