Abstract:
:In vivo and in vitro degradation of high molecular weight poly(L-lactide) used for internal bone fixation has been investigated. Within 3 months as-polymerized, microporous PLLA (Mv = 6.8-9.5 X 10(5] exhibited a massive strength-loss (sigma b = 68-75 MPa to sigma b = 4 MPa) and decrease of Mv (90-95%). At week 39, the first signs of resorption were evident (mass-loss 5 wt%). Except for dynamically loaded bone plates no differences between in vivo and in vitro degradation of PLLA were observed. The increase of crystallinity of PLLA upon degradation (up to 83%) is likely to be attributed to recrystallization of tie-chain segments. A more ductile PLLA exhibiting a lower rate of degradation was prepared by extraction of low molecular weight compounds with ethyl acetate.
