 Abstract
 PDF
- Biodegradable implants made of co-polymers composed of L-lactide, D-lactide, and trimethylene carbonate were used in the present case. To our knowledge, only one reported tissue reaction has been associated with ankle fracture treated with third-generation implants internationally and none yet domestically. We report a delayed foreign-body reaction of ankle fracture treated with a third-generation biodegradable plate and screws. We suggest that ankle fracture patients treated with biodegradable implants should be advised of this possible complication and should be followed for at least 2 years.
