- Editorial Commentary: Fill It up: The Fate of “Absorbable” ImplantsArthroscopyVol. 35Issue 12
- PreviewSurgeons make conscious decisions daily regarding implants. But do they really know what happens in the body to “absorbable anchors?” How long does it take to resorb, and what fills the space left behind? Absorbable materials can be very different, and well-done studies are important to help us understand the process and to guide our decisions.
