Absorbable internal fixation implants, by virtue of their temporary in situ residence and variable load sharing with the healing tissues, have the potential to yield a clinical outcome that approaches the native state. Despite the growing availability and acceptance of absorbable fixation, however, many surgeons continue to rely upon metal fixation for their patients, due, in part, to unfamiliarity with the technology. Although many of the principles of metallic internal fixation also apply to absorbable internal fixation, significant differences exist as well. This paper presents basic background in absorbable technology and proposes a set of principles that may help govern the development and use of absorbable fixation devices in clinical practice.
可吸收内固定植入物由于其在原位的临时停留以及与愈合组织分担可变负荷，有可能产生接近自然状态的临床效果。然而，尽管可吸收固定技术的可用性不断提高且越来越被接受，但许多外科医生仍继续为患者使用金属固定，部分原因是对该技术不熟悉。虽然金属内固定的许多原则也适用于可吸收内固定，但两者也存在显著差异。本文介绍了可吸收技术的基本背景，并提出了一套原则，可能有助于指导可吸收固定装置在临床实践中的开发和使用。
