ABSTRACT
Bioabsorbable materials are more commonly used now days in orthopaedic surgeries. Bioabsorbable implants for fracture fixation, and meniscal repair. These implants provide the advantages of gradual load transfer to the healing tissue, reduced need for implant removal, and radiolucency, which facilitates postoperative radiographic evaluation and no hinderance in second surgery. These also carries disadvantages like, more expensive, having less strength than metals, tissue reactions including mild fluid accumulation, painful erythematous fluctuating papule, sterile sinus tract formation, osteolysis, synovitis, and hypertrophic fibrous encapsulation. We advocate more researches to be carried out for the best suitability of these materials in orthopaedic surgeries.
