## Abstract Seven subcapital femoral osteotomies of adult sheep were each fixed with two absorbable selfreinforced poly‐L‐lactide lag‐screws, and seven other osteotomies were each fixed with two metallic cancellous bone screws. At 3 and 12 weeks, radiographs were taken and callus formation, displac

## Abstract Biodegradation of hydroxyapatite (HA)/poly(L‐lactide)(PLLA) composite bone implant rods was studied with the use of two types of HA particles as reinforcing fillers: uncalcined HA (u‐HA) or calcined HA (c‐HA). Composite rods of u‐HA/PLLA and c‐HA/PLLA containing 30 or 40% (w/w) HA were
