“…38 Nonmetal alloplastic materials such as MEDPOR (Porex, Newnan, GA), Proplast porous hydroxyapatite (Novamed, Chicago, IL), bioactive glasses, and silicone are also available, all having significant limitations, making them less suitable for reconstruction of large contour deformities. 36,40,41 Polymethylmethacrylate was developed in 1939 and first used by Kleinschmidt in 1940 in a rabbit cranioplasty model. Zander and later Gurdjian were the first surgeons to use PMMA in humans.…”

“…Silicone has also been shown to cause resorption of the underlying bone in both animal and human studies. 5,[9][10][11] Unlike silicone implants, polyamide mesh (Supramid, S. Jackson Inc., Alexandria, VA) allows for substantial amount of ingrowth of fibrous tissue over several months. This tissue infiltration anchors and fixes the implant in place and thus prevents extrusion.…”

Secondary nasal deformity associated with cleft lip is a difficult surgical task. For more than 100 years, numerous surgical methods have been created to address the structural changes that occur over time after the primary surgery. Although early surgical methods have relied on various rotational flaps and local tissue manipulation, the recent advent of synthetic materials has provided facial plastic surgeons with more tools to correct the structural and supportive deficiencies. In this article, we describe our 10-year experience with porous high-density polyethylene (PHDPE) implants in secondary cleft-lip rhinoplasty. PHDPE implants have been well tolerated and achieved excellent long-term aesthetic results through fibrovascular ingrowth to the surrounding tissue.

“…Bei der Ohrmuschelrekonstruktion [2] und im Vergleich zu Proplast [3] wurde neben der guten Gewebeverträglichkeit ein nur geringes Resorptionsrisiko und eine hohe Formstabilität dargestellt. Unter porösen Polyäthylenimplantaten wurde im Tierversuch im Vergleich zu Silikon und Polymethylmethacrylat besonders bei dickeren Implantaten eine wesentlich geringere Resorption des knöchernen Lagers nachgewiesen [28].…”
