Bioabsorbable orthopaedic fixation plates are rigid, implantable devices designed to stabilize fractured bones or support joint fusion and osteotomy procedures. These plates are typically secured to the bone using screws and are used in areas such as the limbs, ribs, sternum, or pelvis.
These devices are manufactured from materials that the body naturally breaks down and absorbs over time. The category may include associated surgical instruments or fixation hardware required to properly install the plate during a clinical procedure.
