Our material, a copolymer of glycolic and lactic acid, has shown no adverse effects or bone cyst formation.
Clinical studies show a gradual absorption of the material beginning at six weeks.
By six months, the space once occupied by the Screw is replaced with normal, new cancellous bone marrow. The knee joint remains metal free. Our Screw will not interfere with an MRI, should one be necessary. The Biologically Quiet Screw is solid. With our Biologically Quiet Interference Screw, if future surgery is necessary, difficult removal of the implant is eliminated.
