Abstract
Metallic fracture fixation devices such as bone plates and screws are increasingly being replaced by bioresorbable implants. The next stage is to use bioresorbable materials for high strength fixation such as fixation of the femur or humerus. Work on developing and testing materials for this type of application is reported here.
