Biomechanical analysis of the impact of reconstruction and mastectomy

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian women, but the survival rate is very high when diagnosed and treated early. However, many survivors experience upper limb problems after routine treatment, and these problems may be worsened by breast reconstruction.
