Bioabsorbable implants in orthopaedics: new developments and clinical applications.
The use of bioabsorbable implants in orthopaedic surgical procedures is becoming more frequent. Advances in polymer science have allowed the production of implants with the mechanical strength necessary for such procedures. Bioabsorbable materials have been utilized for the fixation of fractures as well as for soft-tissue fixation. These implants offer the advantages of gradual load transfer to...
متن کاملBioabsorbable materials in orthopaedics.
The applications of bioabsorbable implants in orthopaedic surgery have mainly been mandated from the need to eliminate implant removal operations. Although they have not gained widespread popularity among orthopaedic surgeons, they still represent an area of evolution. Considerable effort has been put into developing new bioabsorbable materials with fewer adverse effects. In this article an ext...
متن کاملSafety of bioabsorbable implants in vitro
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the safety of bioabsorbable plates and screws in humans. METHODS For this purpose, an implant system based on [poly(lactic-co-glycolic acids)(85:15)] was designed. The system was tested for pH, temperature, and swelling and then its surface morphology was analyzed for surface porosity using environmental electron microscopy. Then, the...
متن کاملNew implants in orthopaedics – caveat emptor
Ann R Coll Surg Engl 2012; 94: 455 Joint replacement in orthopaedic surgery has developed immeasurably over the past four decades, enhancing the lives of millions each year across the world. Well established hip and knee replacements offer 20-year survivorship or more with few post-operative complications. Nevertheless, there are examples of joint implantation causing unexpected harm. Some meta...
متن کاملOsteochondritis 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...
