Bone Incorporation of a Poly (L-Lactide-Co-D, L-Lactide) Internal Fixation Device in a Rat’s Tibia: Microtomographic, Confocal LASER, and Histomorphometric Analysis

Bone Incorporation of a Poly (L-Lactide-Co-D, L-Lactide) Internal Fixation Device in a Rat’s Tibia: Microtomographic, Confocal LASER, and Histomorphometric Analysis

This study evaluated the bone incorporation process of a screw-shaped internal fixation device made of poly (L-lactide-co-D, L-lactide) (PLDLLA). Thirty-two male Wistar rats received 32 fixation devices (2 mm × 6 mm) randomly assigned to either the right or left tibia and one implant in each animal....
