<p>Disclosed is an implant for use in the treatment of bone fracture, which can be used for externally confirming the state of recovery of the fracture line while placing the implant in the bone. A plate body (12) of an implant (11) for the treatment of bone fracture is molded from a satisfactorily biocompatible, relatively hard resin into a shape fit to the structure of a site on the fractured bone to be treated. The resin for the plate body (12) is a radiolucent material having a radioactive ray (e.g., X ray) transmission property and is preferably an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or the like. The plate body (12) is provided with multiple screw holes (13) bored therethrough. Each of the screw holes (13) can be self-tapped with a tapping screw and has a smaller diameter than the root diameter of the screw. The tapping screws used are made of a satisfactorily biocompatible titanium alloy or stainless steel.</p> |
