The tissue surrounding carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin plates applied to forearm and tibial fractures was biopsied in 32 patients at the time the plates were removed. The reaction was minimal and was compared with that in a control group of 16 similar patients in whom stainless steel plates were used. No significant histological differences were found. A series of experiments on rats, in which the histology was studied from 2 to 78 weeks, also showed that there was very little reaction to carbon fibre reinforced plastic.
在32例前臂和胫骨骨折患者取出碳纤维增强环氧树脂接骨板时，对其周围组织进行了活检。反应极小，并与16例使用不锈钢接骨板的类似患者组成的对照组进行了比较。未发现明显的组织学差异。对大鼠进行的一系列实验，从2周到78周对其组织学进行了研究，结果也表明对碳纤维增强塑料的反应非常小。
