| Abstract | Background: Implant malposition is a well-recognized complication when using prosthetic implants in the breast for both reconstructive and aesthetic indications. However, to date, no objective classification system has been described. Objectives: This study presents a prospective trial of an objective and reproducible classification system for implant malposition formulated using retrospective data from a large cohort of patients with implant malposition. Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed the degree of medial/lateral and inferior/superior implant malposition relative to their optimal position within the breast footprint in a series of 189 breasts (n = 100 patients). An objective classification system for implant malposition was devised and then applied to a prospective cohort of 53 breasts in 28 patients with implant malposition. Results: The degree of malposition in a single or combination of axes was categorised according to the distance from the ideal breast footprint and measured in centimeters (cms). The classification system incorporated the axis of malposition and distance to generate a treatment decision-making guide. Cases of Grade 1 malposition did not warrant surgical intervention, whilst surgical correction was warranted in all Grade 3 cases.In the combined patient cohort (n = 242 breasts, 128 patients), lateral, inferior, medial and superior displacement ranged between grades 1-3. There was no inter-observer variability in the grades assigned to nine out of ten patients in the prospective group. Conclusions: We have created a simple and reproducible classification system for implant malposition that allows surgeons to objectively record the extent of malposition, guides surgical decision-making and can be used to document the results of any intervention. |
