Abstract

Poly(L-lactide) membranes of various pore sizes: microporous, medium pore size (10-20 microns), and large pore size (20-200 microns) were implanted in 15 mature New Zealand female rabbits to cover a 10-mm diaphyseal defect created in the radius. Five rabbits were implanted with each membrane. No int...
