Popis: Today textured breast implants for augmentation and reconstruction are commonly used to reduce the incidence of capsular contractures. Despite modified surfaces, capsular contracture may occur as result of traumatic or iatrogenic ruptures of the implant along with discharge of filling material.We report the interesting case of a female patient with traumatic rupture of one prosthesis in an industrial accident 14 years after implantation of hydrogel-filled breast prostheses. As it was a work related accident, the Employer's Liability Insurance Association is responsible for covering the treatment. The patient history and the histological exam have proven that the accident was work related.
