Objective To illustrate the effect and complication of orthopedic applications for biodegradable and absorbable internal fixation of fractures, and to indicate the existent problem and research aspect currently. Methods The recent literatures on orthopedic applications and study of biodegradable and absorbable internal fixation for fractures were reviewed. The effect of biodegradable materials on bone healing was summarized. Results It is good for the stability of fracture fixation and result of treeatment. The biodegradable and absorbable internal fixation fractures had no adverse effect on bone healing. Conclusion There will be more widespread application for biodegradable and absorbable materials in orthopedics, but the intensive research should be carried out to prevent its complication.
