Locking plates for distal femur fractures: is there a problem with fracture healing?

abstract：:Tubular poly(L-lactide) membranes with a pore size of 5-15 microns and a molecular weight of 70,000 Daltons were implanted into 24 New Zealand skeletally mature rabbits to cover 10-mm mid-diaphyseal defects of the radius of the forelimb. An identical defect on the contralateral limb was not treated with the membrane a...
