In a preclinical and a clinical study physeal fractures of cats and dogs were fixated with biodegradable implants. The preclinical part consisted of 4 cats with experimental physeal fractures of the distal femurs and the clinical part of 6 cats and 8 dogs with different physeal fractures. All fractures were fixated with selfreinforced polyglycolic acid (PGA) implants of different sizes. No external support was applied after the fixation. All cats and dogs used their operated legs during the first postoperative week and they could walk without lameness in 6 weeks. The fracture healed without delay or malformations. The retardations of the growth of the physeal regions were considered minimal.
在一项临床前研究和一项临床研究中，使用可生物降解植入物固定猫和狗的骨骺骨折。临床前部分包括4只患有实验性股骨远端骨骺骨折的猫，临床部分包括6只猫和8只患有不同骨骺骨折的狗。所有骨折均用不同尺寸的自增强聚乙醇酸（PGA）植入物固定。固定后未施加外部支撑。所有猫和狗在术后第一周就开始使用它们的手术腿，6周后它们能够正常行走而无跛行。骨折愈合没有延迟或畸形。骨骺区域生长的延迟被认为是最小的。
