Finally a major step in recovery after a major injury has been removed. A new method of biodegradable screws has been created in order to help with injury recovery. This new screw encourages bone growth, so that a hole is not left in the spot where the bone was and eliminates the need to have multiple surgeries in order to remove the screws once the ailment has healed.

The screws take two years to completely biodegrade and does not leave a hole in the bone, like previous biodegradable screws formed of polylactic acid. This is a great step in the right direction, now only if they could finally finish developing wooden bones.
