Abstract
Poly-L-lactide (PLA) plates and screws were tested in vitro in porcine ribs for uniaxial pullout and four-point bending strength. Results were compared to conventional systems (stainless steel and titanium). The biomechanical testing suggests that PLA screws have properties suitable for fixation of sagittal split osteotomies. Poly-L-lactide plates have indications in areas of low stress and noncompressive load.Entities:
