Osteotomies of distal femoral diaphysis were fixed intramedullary with self-reinforced poly-L-lactide acid (SR-PLLA) rods in 19 and with metallic rods in 34 adult rabbits. The follow-up times were 8, 16, 24, and 48 weeks. Plain radiographs, computed tomography (CT), quantitative computed tomography
