Abstract
(1) Bone does not form within internal pores of undistorted Proplast implants because of the small interconnecting pore size of the material; (2) the nonosseous, fibrous tissue which exists in the pores of Proplast implants in bone is not attached to the surrounding bone (i.e., Sharpey's fibers are not present). The load-bearing support which can be afforded by Proplast implants is limited by the incomplete bone ingrowth along the margins of the material and the tensile strength of Proplast.Entities:
