Prophylactic Absorbable Antibiotic Beads for High-risk, Implant-based Prepectoral Reconstruction
Summary:. Infections are problematic in postmastectomy implant-based reconstruction with infection rates as high as 30%. Strategies to reduce the risk of infection have demonstrated various efficacies. A prolonged course of systemic, oral antibiotics has

Biomechanical Properties of Absorbable Implants in Finger Fractures
The mechanical rigidity of five different methods of pin fixation in two proximal phalangeal fracture models was studied and absorbable implants were compared with metallic implants in a biomechanical cadaver study. Thirty phalanges were tested in apex palmar bending, compression and torsion.

Stress-absorbing elements in dental implants [PDF]
By means of finite element analysis, calculations, were made of the stress-distribution in bone around implants with and without stress-absorbing elements. A freestanding implant and an implant, it was concluded the variation in the E-modulus of the stress-absorbing element had no effect on the stresses in bone.
