title: [Intramedullary nailing of tubular bones with resorbable implants. An animal experiment study with growing dogs].
abstract: Subtrochanteric osteotomy of the right femur was made in 8 Beagle-dogs 12 weeks of age. After accurate reduction the fixation of the osteotomy was achieved with an intramedullary self-reinforced polyglycolic acid rod. At the follow-up interval of 12 weeks an uncomplicated healing of osteotomy was seen without any growth disturbance. The SR-biodegradable PGA rods provided sufficient stability for rapid healing of subtrochanteric femoral osteotomy in growing dogs.
