“…The remaining twenty-four articles were clinical studies. Eight studies were stated as prospective [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ] and another eight were stated as retrospective [ 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 ], while the design of the other eight was not specified [ 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 ].…”

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) implants have been used for bone fixation for decades. However, upon insertion, they can cause a foreign body reaction (FBR) that may lead to complications. On 15 December 2023, a systematic review was conducted to search for articles on the PubMed, MeSH term, and Scopus databases using the keywords ‘PLLA’ and ‘foreign body reaction’. The articles were reviewed not only for the question of FBR, its severity, and the manifestation of symptoms but also for the type of implant and its location in the body, the species, and the number of individuals included. A total of 71 original articles were identified. Of these, two-thirds reported on in vivo trials, and one-third reported on clinical applications. The overall majority of the reactions were mild in more than half of the investigations. Symptoms of extreme and extensive FBR mainly include osteolysis, ganglion cysts, and swelling. The localization of PLLA implants in bone can often result in osteolysis due to local acidosis. This issue can be mitigated by adding hydroxyapatite. There should be no strong FBR when PLLA is fragmented to 0.5–4 µm by extracorporeal shock wave.

“…Five of the studies reported a complete absence of foreign body reactions (45.45%). Two of the studies used implants containing 30% hydroxyapatite, while the ratios in the other three studies were unknown [ 31 , 37 , 64 , 85 , 86 ]. None of the studies reported extreme reactions.…”
