Biodegradable Implants In Fracture Fixation: Proceedings Of Hte Isfr Symposium

Introduction: Modulation of Fracture Healing and Bone Regeneration Using Physical and Biological Means (E Y S Chao); Is There an Ideal Biomaterial for Use as an Implant for Fracture Fixation? (G W Hastings); Clinical Requirements for Bioresorbable Implants in Internal Fixation (S M Perren & S Gogolewski). In-Vitro Properties: The Manufacturing Details and Mechanical Aspects of the PLLA Implants (S Giannini et al.); The Development and Testing of Three Biodegradable Screw Plate-Systems for Maxillofacial Surgery (D Hutmacher et al.). In-Vivo Response: Biodegradable Intramedullary Devices for Fracture Fixation (M van der Elst et al.); A Five-Year Study of Absorbable Screws Implanted in Canine Femora and Tibiae (M W Rohovsky et al.); Biodegradation of SR-Polyglycolide (SR-PGA) Rods In-Vivo (A Hanabayashi et al.). Clinical Applications: Absorbable Implants in the Fixation of Fractures and Osteotomies (P Rokkanen et al.); Absorbable Malleolar Screws: The Treatment of Ankle Fractures (M W Rohovsky et al.); Bioreabsorbable Osteosynthesis Devices in Foot Fractures (S Giannini et al.). Future Perspectives: HA-PPLA Composite Materials for Fracture Fixation (T Hattori et al.); The Development of Biodegradable Fracture Fixation Devices: Past, Present and Future (H J Th M Haarman et al.); Discussion and Provocative Issues.
