Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It is important to select the suitable fixity for the treatment of fractures, otherwise, it is easy to lead to the treatment failure. In clinic, the fixity used for the treatment of fractures is mainly the metal materials, but the metal materials are prone to corrosion and stress shielding cause cortical bone osteoporosis in human body; in addition, second surgery is needed to remove the materials after fracture healing which can cause the secondary fracture.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the biological properties of the absorbing material and the indications of fracture treatment, and to compare the characteristics of absorbable materials in the fracture internal fixation.
METHODS: The articles related to the absorbable materials for the treatment of fractures were selected to find out the cases with the similar treatment objects and the same curative effect evaluation criteria for the comparative study.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The absorbable materials for the treatment of fractures have significant advantages, removed without second surgery, little injury to the surrounding tissues of the joint and joint itself, good histocompatibility and fewer complications, and it has become one of the development directions for the internal fixation of fractures.
