Foreign-Body Reaction and Osteolysis Induced by an Intraosseous Poly-L-Lactic Acid Suture Anchor in the Wrist: Case Report

Polyglycolic acid and poly-L-lactic acid have become popular choices for bioabsorbable anchor fixation in the hand and wrist. We report a case of osteolysis, synovitis, and chondral erosion secondary to a poly-L-lactic acid suture anchor in the wrist.
