    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Biodegradable Implantate bieten gegenüber metallischen Implantaten Vor- und Nachteile. Zahlreiche Anwendungsideen stellen sich dar. Darunter ist der Fixationsstift für gering belastete osteochondrale Fragmente am gründlichsten untersucht. Die primäre Festigkeit für Anwendungen am distalen Radius wurde vergleichbar zu herkömmlichen Implantaten wie der 1,8-mm-Kirschner-Draht gemessen. Eine prospektiv randomisierte Studie mit 183 Radiusköpfchenfrakturen zeigte gleichwertige Ergebnisse bei Metall und Polymer und insbesondre keine erhöhte Komplikationsrate für die Stifte aus Polylactid (Polypin®). Für diese Indikation und vergleichbare Lokalisationen ist eine Anwendung zu empfehlen. Die Gesamtbehandlungskosten können damit gesenkt werden, auch wenn das einzelne Implantat teurer ist. Hochfeste Polylactidschrauben haben in einer klinischen Langzeitstudie extrem lange Resorptionszeiten von 5–7 Jahren erbracht.
    Notes: Summary The application of biodegradable implants is combined with advantages and disadvan- tages. They offer a great deal of innovative ideas. Best evaluation has been done with pins for the fixation of low loaded osteochondral fractures. When using 2,7 mm Polypin® primary mechanical stabilility of distal radius fractures is comparable with the fixation by 1,8 mm K-wires. A prospective and randomised study with two years follow up, including 183 radial head fractures, showed no significant difference in results and complications in metal and polyactide implants. For this localisation and other comparable indications the implant can be recommended. Despite the more extensive degradable device overall costs can be reduced with the polymer implant. Orien- truded polyactide screws showed good clinical results, newetheless resorption was extremely late within 5 to 7 years.

    Notes: A modified method of access to the upper thoracic spine is presented based on a case report. The third and fourth thoracic vertebral bodies can be reached by partial upper sternotomy. This approach takes the local anatomic situation into account, thus avoiding the typical complications of complete sternotomy and reducing the postoperative pain. Closure was done using biodegradable sutures, achieving satisfactory stabilisation and a low rate of complications. In only 4 of 130 cases (3%) did a superficial wound infection occur. There was no case of deep infection, osteomyelitis or dehiscence of the sternum.
