French term

coque

French to English Medical Medical (general) doctor's report on surgical procedure
This is about the displacement of a mammary prosthesis.
'Le contour est relativement regulier, pas de coque.'
(I'd prefer to avoid any humorous comments!)
I know that the prosthesis involves some sort of shell, but it can't mean that in this context.

kinking

This is what the GDT gives and it seems to be confirmed on several sites.
"Kinking, usually a result of excess tubing length, can be avoided by positioning the dome in such a way that the tubing remains minimally lax, allowing movement but avoiding redundancy."

Résumé
Les modifications structurelles des enveloppes d'implants débutèrent à la fin des années 1970 par l'arrivée des implants « low bleed ». Plus tard, l'apparition des enveloppes texturées a permis une diminution supplémentaire des contractures capsulaires, surtout en position rétroglandulaire. La position rétromusculaire prévenant la survenue des coques ne nécessite pas l'utilisation systématique d'implants texturés, même si certains auteurs le préconisent. En revanche, les implants anatomiques nécessitent un ancrage tissulaire, rendant les enveloppes lisses inadéquates pour cet usage.
Abstract
Envelope structure has evolved since the seventies. Indeed, low-bleed implants allow an important reduction of capsular contracture for silicone filled implants. Later, textured implants permit an additional reduction of capsular contracture, especially when positioned in a retroglandular pocket. Whereas many studies confirm these findings, the interest of textured implants in the retromuscular plane is not really clear, even if some authors recommend it. Due to the need of a tissular anchorage, anatomical implants are not manufactured with smooth envelopes.
