Abstract
Eight patients who had treated with Poly L-Lactic acid osteosynthetic implants from January 1995 through January 1997 were evaluated. There were three rotational acetabular osteotomies, two tibia plateau fractures, two talus fractures, one osteochondritis dissecans. It is not neccesary to remove Poly L-Lactic acid osteosynthetic implants. We can evaluate bony and cartilage change of early period by MRI and CT scan. We conclude that Poly L-Lactic acid implants are safe and effective alternative to metallic osteosynthetic implants for fractures and osteotomy.
