Polylactide acid pins versus stainless steel pins in the treatment of diaphyseal fracture

In order to develop a biodegradable pin for diaphyseal femoral fracture fixation, polylactide acid (PLA) pins were implanted in the femoral bone of rats. A distal diaphyseal fracture was performed. Union and tissue reaction to PLA pins versus stainless steel pins was studied after 15 days, and 1, 2...
