ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing fractured bone. The method includes the steps of reducing the fracture, securing a fixation device to the bone through at least one hole formed in the bone in order to stabilize the fracture, removing the fixation device from said bone after the fracture has healed, providing an osteoductive resorbable bone implant, and inserting the resorbable bone implant into the hole in the bone so that bone growth into the hole is facilitated.
