| pubmed:abstractText |
Biodegradable polylactide-glycolide copolymer implants for fracture fixation were developed and tested in rabbits. In a prospective clinical study 44 patients with a displaced fracture of the ankle were randomly allocated to two groups; one was treated with conventional metallic implants and the other with the biodegradable implants. There were no differences between the two groups in the early results, but the biodegradable fixation method is advantageous because the removal procedure associated with metallic implants is avoided.
