OSTEOSYNTHESES IMPLANTATSET.

摘要

Two bone fragments may be connected by means of an osteosynthetic implant including connecting device and connecting bands comprising reabsorbable, biocompatible material, such as, for example, polygluconate or polylactate, the bands preferably in woven or knit form, and connected to the bone fragments by means of connecting elements. Different types of connecting elements are suitable for use with different types of bone fragments to be connected, and may comprise either tamping liners with tamping counterpieces or hollow screws. The connecting elements have an internal hollow bore, and may be implanted with a special tool to prevent any breakage of the connecting elements. The osteosynthetic implant comprising reabsorbable material is particularly suitable for osteosynthesis in children, since growth disturbances are eliminated.
