The infection rate of implant sites bearing porous and dense implants was studied in mice. In the 1st model (acute infection) the mice were injected with Staphylococcus aureus s.c. at the implant site at the time of implantation. In the 2nd (chronic) model the implants were left in place for 4 wk for encapsulation or invasive to occur and then the organisms were inoculated. In the acute model the infection rate with the porous materials was greater. In the chronic model after tissue invasion the infection rate with the dense materials was greater. Microorganisms probably can evade host defense mechanisms if they enter the pores of the implant before tissue invasion, but once the implant is invaded with host tissue the bacteria are less apt to establish infection.
