AbstractIn a randomized study 43 patients with fracture-dislocations of the ankle joint were treated by open reduction and fixation with either steel or biodegradable implants. Results in both groups were favorable and the biodegradable material appears to be useful for some fracture-dislocations to obviate the need for a second operation.
