Poly-L-Lactic acid screws were applied for internal fixation when performing a Rotation Acetabular Osteotomy in 6 Hip joints (PLLA group). A comparison group had a K-wire applied in 21 Hip joints (K-wire group). We reviewed the surgical time, bleeding volume during and after surgery, and could not find any significant difference between the PLLA and K-wire groups. Strength and complications such as bone resorption and inflammation around the screws were abo similar.
