主权项 1. A method for bonding an internal fixation device to tissue, comprising: applying energy to an internal fixation device to melt at least a portion thereof, wherein the internal fixation device is a plate; contacting a surface of tissue with the melted portion of the internal fixation device; and allowing the melted portion of the internal fixation device to harden such that the internal fixation device is affixed to the tissue without drilling or perforating the tissue.
