Editorial Commentary: Fill It up: The Fate of "Absorbable" Implants
1University of Virginia.
Abstract:
Surgeons make conscious decisions daily regarding implants. But do they really know what happens in the body to "absorbable anchors?"

Absorbable materials can be very different, and well-done studies are important to help us understand the process and to guide our decisions.
