Asked By:pncaf in France, FR

Hi, I would like to know if silastic implants are better than porex (Medpor) implants. What about bone erosion ? Will I have to change my implant in 10 or 15 years because of bone erosion ? Moreover, can we fix with a screw both silastic and medpor implants ? Thanks for your help.
