In medicine, there is an increasing interest in the use of resorbable polymers for the preparation of internal fixation devices. Many such devices produced from various polyhydroxyacids are available on the market at present, and are mainly used for the treatment of small fragments. The advantage of such resorbable implants is that they do not have to be removed from the implantation site after fracture healing is completed (Figure 18.1).
