The ultrastructure of biodegradable implants: changes during the time

The authors describe in detail the biochemical processes that occur over time and with the collapse of the polymer in the bone. Originally used scanning electron microscopy to assess the condition of clamps, which spent several years in the bone. The data obtained is objective evidence that the biological activity of the implant in the bone and again emphasize the importance of the choice of materials to be implanted in the human body.
