Comparison of absorbable poly-l-lactide and metallic intramedullary rods in the fixation of femoral shaft osteotomies: an experimental study in rabbits

An osteotomy of the distal femoral diaphysis was fixed with an intramedullary self-reinforced poly-l-lactide (SR-PLLA) rod in 22 and with a metallic rod in 38 skeletally mature rabbits.
