Problems occurring in the use of external fixators for bone fractures include pin-bone interface necrosis, infection, and loosening. These may be initiated and enhanced by pin-bone interface stress levels. Based on stress data from finite element method (FEM) models, an analytical "closed-form'' mod

## 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
