Özet

As mastectomy is known to effect body posture, we evaluated the long-term physical effects of unilateral mastectomy on spine deformity by radiographic examination of 60 women taken before and 12 months after the mastectomy. The results indicated long-term spinal deformation in women with unilateral mastectomy, suggesting informing patients of the possible change in body posture in the long-term.
