Biodegradable Implants in Neurosurgery

摘要

Background. Biodegradable materials have been used for osteosynthesis by orthopedic surgeons and craniomaxillofacial surgeons for many years. However, such materials are not yet widely used by neurosurgeons despite potential applications. This prospective study was undertaken to evaluate potential applications of biodegradable materials in neurosurgical interventions.
