Do Bacteria and Biofilm Play a Role in Double-Capsule Formation around Macrotextured Implants?
26 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The double capsule is a complication mostly described in aggressive macrotextured implants. Mechanical shear stress applied onto an immature periprosthetic capsule has been linked to their formation. The authors aim to demonstrate the role of bacterial phenotype and biofilm in the development of the double capsule. METHODS: Seven double capsules formed at the interface of macrotextured breast expander...
