Abstract
Ten unstable zygomatic bone fractures were treated with osteosynthesis plates and screws made of bioabsorbable poly(l-lactide) (PLLA). This study has shown that our PLLA plates and screws guarantee stable osteosynthesis of zygomatic bone fractures for an adequate period of time and allow undisturbed healing of the fracture. Bioabsorption takes more or less 18 months. Thus, a second operation for removal of the osteosynthesis material is avoided.Entities:
