ASSESSMENT of bIoresorbable Screws and bone tissue in long-term period after the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Abstract

The use of bioresorbable materials in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a promising direction. Thus today there is no single point of view on the long-term results of using absorbable interference screws. The article presents an analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 30 patients with use of bioresorbable materials, operated on for rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the department of traumatology and orthopedics from 2010 to 2016 in the Federal Scientific Clinical Center FMBA of Russia. The aim of our study was to evaluate in vivo transformation of bioresorbable screws and bone assimilation into the tibial canal in long-term period after surgery, as well as the effect of the polymeric material and bone on these processes.
