Objective To explore the feasibility of breast ultrasound capsule thickness as an index to evaluate the severity of capsule contraction, and to analyze its correlation with Baker's grading of patients. Methods The 85 patients (170 breasts) eligible for the inclusion of Songyuan Central Hospital from July 2019 to January 2022 were included, the capsule thickness was measured by ultrasound and histological examination, analyzed the distribution of Baker grades Baker Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ, and the analysis of the correlation coefficient within 95% confidence interval. Results Among the 85 left breast implants, 43 were Baker Ⅰ, 11 Baker Ⅱ, 16 Baker Ⅲ, 15 Baker Ⅳ, 41 Baker Ⅰ, 13 Baker Ⅱ, 14 Baker Ⅲ, and 17 Baker Ⅳ According to the statistics, it included capsular spasm, prosthesis rupture, dislocation, implant-related anaplastic changes of breast implants, discomfort, foreign body sensation, size changes, but the capsular spasm accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 40.00%. The ultrasonic examination showed that the capsule thickness of Baker Ⅱ, Baker Ⅲ and Baker Ⅳ patients was (0.58 ± 0.11) mm, (1.07 ± 0.16) mm and (1.89 ± 0.55) mm, respectively, while the histological examination showed that the capsule thickness of Baker Ⅰ, Baker Ⅱ, Baker Ⅲ and Baker Ⅳ patients was (0.28 ± 0.07) mm, (0.58 ± 0.08) mm, (1.06 ± 0.14) mm and (2.13 ± 1.14) mm, respectively, The results showed that there was no significant difference in capsule thickness between the two detection methods and different Baker grades (P>0.05). Conclusion It is feasible to use breast ultrasound capsule thickness as an assessment of the severity of capsule contraction. There is a significant correlation between it and Baker grading, and there is no significant difference between it and histological capsule thickness detection. Therefore, this method can be considered for clinical application.
