Notes:
It is common experience that carbon fiber braids, which are passed through osseous tunnels, are not incorporated by osteointergration. Rather, they are separated from the boy walls of the tunnels by a granulomatous-cicatrizing interface membrane. In the exceptional case, however, Bony ingrowth into the braid occurs without an intervening soft tissular layer. Bony ingrowth may be contingent on the stability of the carbon fiber braid within the osseous tunnel.
