Treatment of Pediatric Displaced Intraarticular Olecranon Fractures with Resorbable Poly-L-Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) Pins and Polydioxanone (PDS) Loops
Resorbable PLGA pins and PDS loops provide a promising alternative to conventional metallic fixation in pediatric olecranon fractures, abolishing the need for a second implant-removal surgery while maintaining stability and biocompatibility. Our findings support the child-friendly nature and growing role of biodegradable materials in pediatric fracture management.
