Abstract
In the context of this work, the striations found in explants constitute a significant finding as they point to the occurrence of fatigue phenomena associated with mammary implants rupture. This research, also demonstrates that rupture surface analysis of explanted breast implants has the potential to become a useful indicator for assessing implant rupture mechanisms.
