Abstract
The reaction of X-rays on the incapsulation of subcutaneous implantation of silastic prosthesis and further development of the capsules was studied in an experimental investigation on the basis of 14 rabbits. An influence of X-rays on type and thickness of the capsule as well as constrictive fibrosis was not ascertained. On account of our histological investigations we may say that the cause for a fibrous capsule formation is a similar process which causes Dupuytren's contracture.Entities:
