Osteochondritis Dessicans- Primary Fixation using Bioabsorbable Implants
INTRODUCTION Osteochondritis dessicans (OCD) is a localized condition where a section of articular cartilage and underlying subchondral bone separate from the joint surface. It is important to diagnose unstable OCD early and fix the fragments primarily as the results of any surgical management at late presentations are guarded. Use of bioabsorbable implants for fixing OCD is recent and we repor...
متن کاملNew Bioabsorbable Implants for the Fixation of Metaphyseal Bone An Experimental and Clinical Study
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the suitability of bioabsorbable drawn selfreinforced polyglycolide (SR-PGA) and poly-L/DL-lactide 70:30 (SR-PLA70) implants in experimental and clinical fixations of cancellous bone osteotomies, arthrodeses and fractures. The study consists of a set of two experimental and two clinical studies, including 109 experimental animals and 87 patien...
متن کاملUse of bioabsorbable plates for cranial fixation.
LactoSorb fixation plates are made of a bioabsorbable polymer (82% poly-L-lactic acid and 18% polyglycolic acid), and the strength is not inferior to titanium plates. LactoSorb has been used in the fields of pediatric neurosurgery and facial plastic surgery. Cranial fixation in craniotomy is mostly performed using titanium plates and clamps, but there are issues with esthetics and artifacts on ...
متن کاملOsteochondral fracture of the knee treated with bioabsorbable implants in two adolescents.
We present two patients, respectively 14 and 18 years old, who sustained an osteochondral fracture of the weight-bearing part of the lateral femoral condyle, which was treated operatively with biodegradable self-reinforced polylactide rods. The first patient was operated 60 days after the injury, the second one on the third day. The clinical and functional results were good in both cases one ye...
متن کاملOsteolytic changes accompanying degradation of absorbable fracture fixation implants.
We analysed the radiographs of 67 patients with displaced malleolar fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation using absorbable polyglycolide rods. Seventeen patients developed a discharging inflammatory foreign-body reaction, a complication unique to these fixation devices. In 34 patients ovoid osteolytic foci, usually 5 to 10 mm in diameter, appeared within the implant channels...
