Abstract
Absorbable FIXSORB SCREWS are made from poly-L-lactic acid. We used these screws for internal fixation when performing Transposition Osteotomy of the Acetabulum (TOA) in 8 hips instead of using Kirschner wires or screws which are made of titanium. At an average follow-up of fourteen weeks, there were no displacements of the osteotomized fragment or foreign body reaction in all our patients. Although the period of postoperative follow-up is short, we believe that these absorbable screws seem to be a useful internal fixation device for TOA.
