Abstract
Osteotomies of the canine femur were internally stabilized with four-hole plates made of thermoplastic polyacetal and polyester. The plates were strong enough to stabilize the bony fragments without additional protection while being flexible enough to permit healing with periosteal callus and subsequent remodeling without stress protection effects.Keywords
