Background

Bioresorbable materials offer the potential of developing fracture fixation plates with similar mechanical properties to bone thereby minimizing stress shielding and obviating the need for implant removal.

Aim

To determine the in vivo degradation profile of a novel phosphate glass fibre composite bioresorbable plate and effects on the underlying bone.
