Resorbable poly(L-lactide) plates and screws for the fixation of zygomatic fractures.

Abstract
Ten patients with unstable zygomatic fractures were treated with resorbable poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) plates and screws. The results show that this method of fixation gives good stability over a sufficiently long period to enable undisturbed fracture healing.
