title: [Absorbable self-reinforced biomaterials used for fracture fixation implants].
abstract: A series of absorbable polymers used for osteosynthesis implants are introduced in this review. To reduce the degradation rate and increase the strength of them, some methods, such as self-reinforced or coating with other polymers, have been presented. Some clinical and animal's experiments have been discussed.
