Effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on biointegration of porous polyethylene (PP) implanted beneath dorsal burn scar and normal skin were experimentally examined in Sprague-Dawley rats. In Group One (n=20), daily HBO treatments were given after the implantation of PP material under dorsal burn scar, whereas, in Group Two (n=20) no treatment was given following the same surgical procedure.
