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

Osteotomies of distal femur were fixed by intraosseous selfreinforced poly-L-lactic acid (SR-PLLA) plates in 29 adult rabbits. The follow-up times were from 3 to 24 weeks. After sacrifice, radiological, histological, microradiographic, and oxytetracycline fluorescence studies were performed. Althoug
## 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
