<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Abstract<br />

Dog bone bioresorbable tensile bars <strong>of</strong> a poly l-lactide compound were tested <strong>for</strong> strength<br />

using an Instron 5544 tensile tester. The poly l-lactide compound has been shown to be one <strong>of</strong><br />

the strongest bioresorbable materials used in bone fixation. Several tensile bars were placed in<br />

H 2 O to evaluate how the strength <strong>of</strong> the bars degrades over time. It was hypothesized that as the<br />

length <strong>of</strong> time the bioresorbables were exposed to the liquid increased, the strength <strong>of</strong> each<br />

tensile bar decreased. An extension test was used on each tensile bar to determine the strength,<br />

and extension was recorded at the time <strong>of</strong> maximum <strong>for</strong>ce <strong>for</strong> each bar. <strong>Tensile</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> each<br />

bar was calculated by dividing the maximum load <strong>for</strong>ce by the cross-sectional area. The tensile<br />

strength <strong>of</strong> each bar did not decrease over time exposed to water; however, the length <strong>of</strong> time the<br />

tensile bar fatigued be<strong>for</strong>e failure decreased drastically. This data can be used in determining<br />

whether bioresorbable tensile bars are a sufficient replacement <strong>for</strong> titanium fixation systems.<br />

Because the strength <strong>of</strong> bioresorbables does not decrease significantly, they are appropriate <strong>for</strong><br />

bone fixation.<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Introduction<br />

<strong>Bioresorbable</strong> materials have been in use as medical applications <strong>for</strong> the past twenty<br />

years; however, they are used sparingly because these polymers are much more expensive than<br />

the more common material, titanium. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> polymers comprise several varieties <strong>of</strong><br />

compounds, including the PLA/PGA mixture. This specific compound has been shown to always<br />

unite bones by the end <strong>of</strong> the healing period. Most surgeries that use a bioresorbable fixation<br />

system have few complications and high success rates (British Association <strong>of</strong> Oral and<br />

Maxill<strong>of</strong>acial Surgeons, 2000, p. 4). One study on mandibular fractures in humans showed that<br />

the complication rate <strong>of</strong> using resorbable fixation was approximately 22.5 %. The average<br />

complication rate when using titanium fixation varies from 13.7% to a high 43% (Ferretti, 2008,<br />

p. 242). These statistics present the evidence that bioresorbable polymers can be used as a secure<br />

replacement to titanium fixation.<br />

Research has been focused on the improvement <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable polymers over the past<br />

four decades. Even though they have been researched <strong>for</strong> over <strong>for</strong>ty years, the absorbable<br />

materials have only been in use by the public <strong>for</strong> approximately twenty years. These materials<br />

are still rarely used because they are much more expensive than their alternative fixation device,<br />

titanium. PLA/PGA co-polymers are desirable in areas <strong>of</strong> the body that are non-weightbearing<br />

and suffer little stress, such as the face. Maxill<strong>of</strong>acial implants are one <strong>of</strong> the most common uses<br />

<strong>of</strong> bioresorbable fixation. This is beneficial because the implants will dissolve after the facial<br />

fracture is healed, avoiding a subsequent surgery on the face to remove the fixation device<br />

(Bayram et al., 2009, p. 67).<br />

There are numerous applications <strong>of</strong> the bioresorbable polymers in addition to<br />

maxill<strong>of</strong>acial implants. The polymers were tested on non-weightbearing facial implants first<br />

because <strong>of</strong> the uncertainty that they would be able to withstand the stress <strong>of</strong> weightbearing body<br />

parts. The continuous research on biomaterials has led to numerous improvements on the<br />

qualities <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable polymers such as easier handling techniques, slower degradation<br />

processes, and stronger structural design. This allows the biomaterials to be used in more<br />

demanding applications (Eppley, 1997, p. 945).<br />

Literature Review<br />

Benefits and Uses <strong>of</strong> Titanium<br />

The practice <strong>of</strong> internal fixation comprises numerous devices such as resorbable fixation<br />

systems, sutures, and titanium fixation rods. Titanium is the most commonly used metal in<br />

medical applications. It is the metal <strong>of</strong> choice across the world and is known <strong>for</strong> its strength and<br />

flexibility. It is the most biocompatible material by far compared to all other metals that have<br />

been used <strong>for</strong> medical purposes. In the 1940s, titanium was being used <strong>for</strong> the first time in<br />

dentistry. Only one decade later, titanium found its way into the surgical field. Now it is the most<br />

widely accepted metal by medical pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. Titanium can be used <strong>for</strong> prosthetics, internal<br />

fixation systems, and surgical instruments (International Titanium Association, 1999, p. 1).<br />

Several qualities put titanium at the top <strong>of</strong> the list <strong>for</strong> medical applications. For example,<br />

titanium is completely unaffected by bodily fluids, and it can resist the body environment under<br />

all conditions, including stress and fatigue. When exposed to any amount <strong>of</strong> oxygen, a naturally<br />

<strong>for</strong>med protective oxide layer develops around the titanium. Reaction to tissue in the body is<br />

prevented by this film that adheres to the titanium and resists alteration due to chemical changes.<br />

Moreover, titanium binds itself to bones, making it very difficult to break the bond between<br />

them. This quality makes titanium preferable to other materials that require an additional<br />

adhesive. Titanium also has the highest strength to weight ratio <strong>of</strong> any other metal that is<br />

tolerated by the human body. The density <strong>of</strong> titanium is very similar to the density <strong>of</strong> bone which<br />

makes it a natural choice <strong>for</strong> bone fixation. Titanium is also only 56% as dense as stainless steel,<br />

making it much lighter in weight than other strong metals. Even though titanium is less dense<br />

than other metals, its strength is not compromised. It is approximately 25% stronger than<br />

stainless steel. Bone growth is not an issue when titanium is used because it is flexible enough<br />

that it will accommodate the growth <strong>of</strong> the bones it adheres to. Furthermore, the thermal<br />

expansion <strong>of</strong> titanium is comparable to that <strong>of</strong> human bone. Because it is not magnetic, titanium<br />

is not affected by outside interference. Titanium is clearly the metal <strong>of</strong> choice to be used in<br />

human surgeries (International Titanium Association, 1999, p. 2).<br />

Because titanium is easily worked, reshaped, and combined to <strong>for</strong>m different alloys, it is<br />

used in several diverse medical applications. The most common use <strong>of</strong> titanium today is in hip<br />

replacements. Of all the knee replacements per<strong>for</strong>med each day, nearly half use titanium. Spinal<br />

fixation is also one <strong>of</strong> the frequent uses <strong>for</strong> titanium. To support broken bones, reconstructive<br />

titanium bone plates are used. These are only a few <strong>of</strong> the countless applications in which<br />

titanium is employed (International Titanium Association, 1999, p. 2).<br />

Negative Effects <strong>of</strong> Titanium<br />

Despite the benefits and characteristics <strong>of</strong> titanium that make it the number one choice <strong>of</strong><br />

metals to be used in medical applications, it also has some downfalls. For example, once a<br />

titanium plate or other <strong>for</strong>m <strong>of</strong> titanium has been put into the body, the piece <strong>of</strong> titanium resides<br />

in the body <strong>for</strong> the rest <strong>of</strong> the patient’s life. The titanium will stay in the body long after the<br />

problem it was designed to fix has healed. If the patient wants the titanium removed, he or she<br />

must undergo a second surgery that will remove the titanium. Titanium is a natural adhesive that<br />

<strong>for</strong>ms a strong bond at the area <strong>of</strong> bone attachment. This also makes it very difficult to remove<br />

from the system. Even though it is not harmful to leave the titanium in the human body, it is not<br />

necessary <strong>for</strong> it to be present once the bone fracture is healed; however, it is un<strong>for</strong>tunate <strong>for</strong> a<br />

patient to endure another surgery to remove the internal fixation device.<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Titanium fixation also presents the inconvenience <strong>of</strong> limited mobility. As noted above,<br />

titanium can be used in spinal fixation. The spine needs to be an extremely mobile part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

human body both rotating and bending <strong>for</strong>ward and backwards. Although titanium is flexible<br />

enough to allow bones to grow, it cannot bend in the way a human back bends. This causes<br />

limited mobility when titanium is used in the spinal cord fixation. Mobility is a crucial issue<br />

when used in the neck. For example, if disks <strong>of</strong> vertebrae in the neck are replaced with titanium<br />

because <strong>of</strong> a rupture, the neck will have a severely diminished range <strong>of</strong> motion. The patient will<br />

not be able to rotate with the same mobility as prior to the rupture. Titanium is the most<br />

biocompatible material with the body in terms <strong>of</strong> medical applications; however, it has numerous<br />

downfalls and inconveniences that make the medical world wonder if there is a better device <strong>for</strong><br />

internal fixation.<br />

Chemical Makeup <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> Polymers<br />

There are numerous compounds <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable polymers used in medical applications.<br />

Each polymer has a base. Most commonly, the polymers are either poly lactic acid (PLA) based<br />

or milk based. The resorbable materials are compounded with other materials. The poly<br />

lactic/poly glycolic acid (PLA/PGA) compound is the one most commonly used in implants or<br />

fixation. This PLA/PGA combination can be used when the implant is needed in vitro short term.<br />

Because it is necessary that the bioresorbable polymers are stable enough to maintain their <strong>for</strong>m,<br />

a low concentration <strong>of</strong> glycolic acid must be present. Glycolic acid is a liquefying chemical that<br />

when present in a high concentration could cause the tensile bar to be unable to maintain its<br />

shape. Even though there are multiple variations <strong>of</strong> the lactide to glycolide ratio, the most<br />

widespread is the 90% lactide and 10% glycolide adaptation. The polymer is easiest to handle in<br />

this combination because it does not illustrate the s<strong>of</strong>t, gooey attribute <strong>of</strong> a high concentration <strong>of</strong><br />

glycolide (Bibber, 2009, p. 1).<br />

With the characteristic <strong>of</strong> degrading in the presence <strong>of</strong> heat and moisture, it is difficult to<br />

store biomaterials in an environment where they will not suffer premature degradation. Even the<br />

slightest change in moisture intake or temperature can cause a bioresorbable pellet to begin to<br />

break down as if it were in the body doing its job. Because <strong>of</strong> this complexity, bioresorbables are<br />

stored in nitrogen sealed packets to prevent disbanding <strong>of</strong> the polymers (Bibber, 2009, p. 1). As<br />

shown below in Table1, each compound <strong>of</strong> biodegradable polymers has different physical<br />

characteristics.<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Breakdown <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> Polymers<br />

The breakdown <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable polymers is a complex process that takes place in the<br />

body subsequent to the healing <strong>of</strong> the bone fracture. The resorbable materials dissolve in the<br />

body at the same rate that the surrounding tissue regenerates. When the biomaterial is completely<br />

dissolved, the space it occupied will be filled with the new tissue (Barden, 2009, slide 19). The<br />

PLA/PGA compounds break down into carbon dioxide and water components. These<br />

components have no ill effects on the body because they are found in nature and used by the<br />

body daily. There are three different terms used to classify the breaking down <strong>of</strong> biomaterials.<br />

Biodegradation is a term used to describe how an enzyme, cell, or microbe in the body breaks<br />

down the polymer. The actual amount and speed <strong>of</strong> the components that make up the polymer<br />

being absorbed is referred to as bioresorption. The physical and chemical properties <strong>of</strong> the<br />

degradation <strong>of</strong> the polymer are defined as bioerosion (Barden, 2009, slide 25). The effects <strong>of</strong><br />

bioerosion will be studied in this experiment.<br />

Bioerosion can cause multiple reactions in the bioresorbable polymers. For example, the<br />

polymer might suffer a change in physical appearance or chemical properties. The weight <strong>of</strong> a<br />

polymer could decrease causing the material to lose its ability to function <strong>for</strong> its original purpose.<br />

If the polymer suffers from de<strong>for</strong>mation as a result <strong>of</strong> the bioerosion, the entire shape <strong>of</strong> the<br />

biomaterial may be changed. This would <strong>for</strong>ce the biomaterial to be unable to function well in its<br />

previous location. Inflation or deflation <strong>of</strong> the bioabsorbable material could also be a physical<br />

change that occurs during bioerosion. Christopher Barden, a project engineer at MicroPEP,<br />

reported that the dissolving <strong>of</strong> the polymer is the most well-known effect <strong>of</strong> bioerosion because<br />

that is what biomaterials are meant to do (personal communication).<br />

Hydrolysis is the typical method by which the breakdown <strong>of</strong> polymers occurs. The bond<br />

between most PLA/PGA compounds is an ester bond. When an ester bond is broken by<br />

hydrolysis, acid and alcohol are <strong>for</strong>med. Hydrolysis occurs when the polymers or molecules<br />

react with water. The water enters the polymer or molecules and breaks it down from the inside<br />

causing hydrolic degradation (Barden, 2009, slide 15). Figure 1 shows the breakdown <strong>of</strong> an ester<br />

bond by hydrolysis.<br />

Figure 1. Breakdown <strong>of</strong> an ester bond by the process <strong>of</strong> hydrolysis. In the presence <strong>of</strong><br />

water, certain molecules are broken down by hydrolysis. This process results in the<br />

<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> an acid and an alcohol when applied to an ester bond. The opposite process<br />

that occurs in reaction to hydrolysis is condensation (Barden, 2009, slide 15).<br />

Processing <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Materials</strong><br />

As with all materials used in medical applications, biodegradable materials must be tested<br />

<strong>for</strong> their ability to be processed in order to make it easier <strong>for</strong> manufacturers and surgeons to<br />

handle the products. The characterization <strong>of</strong> a polymer in regards to its weight, stability, and<br />

ability to be processed can be determined using an IV (Intrinsic Viscosity) test. Viscosity refers<br />

to the thickness and tackiness <strong>of</strong> the solution surrounding the polymer. The IV test measures a<br />

7


<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

polymers capability to increase the viscosity <strong>of</strong> the solution it resides in. During the testing<br />

process <strong>of</strong> the durability <strong>of</strong> the polymer, the viscosity is established at various concentrations <strong>of</strong><br />

solution. By per<strong>for</strong>ming the IV test at various concentrations, the viscosity at a concentration <strong>of</strong><br />

zero units <strong>of</strong> solution surrounding the polymer can be determined. The IV test must also be<br />

conducted at numerous stages throughout the molding process <strong>of</strong> the polymers. This ensures that<br />

the viscosity level will be correct <strong>for</strong> the application and location in the body that each specific<br />

polymer mold will be used <strong>for</strong>. If the biomaterial is processed incorrectly with the wrong IV, the<br />

polymer could prematurely degrade in the body causing a failed bone union. Processing the<br />

materials correctly without exposing them to heat and moisture is important in the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />

application (Bibber, 2009, p. 1).<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> the several complexities when handling biomaterials, the handling process is<br />

the area most susceptible to error. The polymers are extremely sensitive to heat and moisture and<br />

must be stored in the correct environment which is typically a freezer. The temperature must be<br />

exact, and the biomaterials must always be kept in their nitrogen sealed containers. Extremely<br />

small machines must be used to process the biomaterials because even minute amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ftemperature<br />

air could cause premature degradation. Furthermore, the venting system <strong>of</strong> the<br />

molds <strong>for</strong> polymers must never become clogged because backed up vents will also dissolve the<br />

materials prematurely. The processing <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable materials involves potential problems<br />

due to the numerous minute details in handling techniques (Bibber, 2009, p. 2).<br />

Uses <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong>s<br />

<strong>Bioresorbable</strong> materials are useful in several medical applications. These polymers can be<br />

molded in a variety <strong>of</strong> shapes depending on how they will be used in the body. For example,<br />

specific molds <strong>of</strong> biomaterials can be tensile screws, plates, or mesh. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong>s are best<br />

suited <strong>for</strong> applications in which they are only needed in vitro <strong>for</strong> a short period <strong>of</strong> time (Bibber,<br />

2009, p. 1). Most facial implants <strong>for</strong> aesthetic reasons use resorbable materials because they will<br />

not stay in the patient’s face <strong>for</strong>ever. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong>s are also used as bone screws when they<br />

bone in question does not have a long healing process. Once bones are healed using titanium<br />

screws, bioresorbable polymers can replace the titanium screws. After the bone no longer needs<br />

the stability <strong>of</strong> the tensile bar, it will be replaced with biomaterials that will dissolve into the<br />

body. Another use <strong>for</strong> biomaterials is a method <strong>of</strong> drug release. If the biomaterial has antibiotic<br />

medicine inside it, the medicine will be time released directly into the area <strong>of</strong> the body that needs<br />

it as the polymer is dissolving (Barden, 2009, slide 29). On a smaller scale, resorbable materials<br />

can be used as sutures. To patients these are known as dissolvable stitches. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong>s can be<br />

used <strong>for</strong> many applications and as technology and research increases, more uses will be found.<br />

<strong>Bioresorbable</strong> Fixation Plates as an Alternative to Titanium in Mandibular Fractures<br />

Several recent studies <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable fixation have focused on biomaterials used in the<br />

fixation <strong>of</strong> human mandibular fractures. A study executed by Krach, Wagner, Yerit,<br />

Rothlisberger, and MCiller concentrated on whether bioresorbable fixation plates would be a<br />

successful alternative to titanium in human mandibular fractures (Krach et al., 2008, p. 59). The<br />

necessary data was collected using CT in<strong>for</strong>mation. Characteristics were attributed to the<br />

materials using actual bone density values <strong>of</strong> the human mandible. Muscular <strong>for</strong>ces during<br />

biting, such as direction, location, and height, were used to determine loading conditions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

mandible. There are four common fracture planes in the mandible: a median, paramedian, angle,<br />

and column. All four <strong>of</strong> these planes were considered during the study. The fractures were first<br />

analyzed assuming titanium fixation plates were used. This data showed that the plates will<br />

8


<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

suffer higher stress in median and paramedian fractures then in column or angle fractures. A<br />

prediction was made that insisted contact between the mandible and the fixation plate is<br />

necessary <strong>for</strong> successful function <strong>of</strong> the surgery. Results <strong>of</strong> the experiment using bioresorbable<br />

plates showed that the biomaterials can be used in certain circumstances <strong>of</strong> mandibular fractures.<br />

Median and paramedian fractures are best treated using two fixation plates, while angle fractures<br />

should be treated with one if contact with the lower portion <strong>of</strong> the bone is certain. One plate must<br />

also be used in a column fracture, and the plates must be approximately 2.0 or 2.5 mm in<br />

thickness. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> fixation plates can be used in mandibular fractures in circumstances<br />

where a perfect alignment <strong>of</strong> repositioning is a guaranteed result. However, these plates are not<br />

successful when used in a mandibular column fracture (Krach et al., 2008, p. 67).<br />

PLA/PGA Plates and Screws <strong>for</strong> Internal Fixation <strong>of</strong> Mandibular Fractures<br />

Progress in the areas <strong>of</strong> biomaterials testing has produced a surge in using the<br />

biomaterials as fixation devices in fractures <strong>of</strong> the mandible. This study by Ferretti tested<br />

PLA/PGA compounds as plates and screws in the fixation <strong>of</strong> mandibular fractures in 31 patients.<br />

Follow up visits <strong>for</strong> patients occurred at 1 week, 6 weeks, and 3, 6, and 12 months post surgery.<br />

Pain and swelling were some <strong>of</strong> the symptoms <strong>for</strong> which patients were checked. Twenty-nine<br />

patients completed the trial with complete union <strong>of</strong> the bone fracture. Two participants in the<br />

trial were withdrawn when they were unwilling to return <strong>for</strong> a follow up or had been assaulted<br />

(Ferretti, 2008, p. 242). General anesthesia and amoxicillin were used during the surgery. The<br />

PLA/PGA compound used in this trial was 82% lactide and 18% glycolide. After the operation,<br />

patients stayed on oral amoxicillin <strong>for</strong> 5 days, and a particular mouthwash was used to keep the<br />

site <strong>of</strong> surgery disinfected. Furthermore, all patients were kept on a liquid diet <strong>for</strong> 6 weeks<br />

(Ferretti, 2008, p. 243). The results <strong>of</strong> this study show that PLA/PGA fixation has a 22.5%<br />

complication rate. Twenty patients completed the trial with no complications subsequent to the<br />

surgery. Complications were present in 9 patients, but no patients suffered a non-union <strong>of</strong> the<br />

fracture. Because the complication rate <strong>of</strong> using titanium fixation ranges from 13.7% to 43%,<br />

PLA/PGA polymer plate and screw fixation <strong>of</strong> mandibular fractures is an excellent alternative<br />

(Ferretti, 2008, p. 242).<br />

Biodegradable Fixation <strong>of</strong> Mandibular Fractures in Children<br />

Recently researchers have expressed an interest in bioresorbable fixation in children. One<br />

study at the Medical University <strong>of</strong> Vienna aimed to discover the safety and stability <strong>of</strong> short term<br />

results <strong>of</strong> biodegradable fixation in fractures <strong>of</strong> children’s mandibles. Thirteen children, ages<br />

ranging from 5 to 16 years, participated in this trial. They were all operated on <strong>for</strong> various<br />

fractures <strong>of</strong> the mandible and attended follow-up visits <strong>for</strong> approximately 2 years after the<br />

surgery was per<strong>for</strong>med (Yerit, Hainich, Enislidis, Turhani, & Klug, 2005, p. 1). All patients<br />

experienced full union <strong>of</strong> the mandibular fracture. None <strong>of</strong> the participants suffered from<br />

undesirable reactions to the biodegradable materials. All complications experienced were minor<br />

and none <strong>for</strong>ced removal <strong>of</strong> the biodegradable plates. The results depict that pediatric patients<br />

take well to biodegradable fixation <strong>of</strong> mandibular fractures. Children can benefit from<br />

biomaterials because mobility is achieved faster than if titanium is used. Also, the patients will<br />

not need to undergo a second removal surgery that is especially uninvited in pediatric patients.<br />

These results depict that biodegradable fixation is safe and superior to titanium in pediatric<br />

patients. Further studies will be necessary to establish the long term effects and reliability <strong>of</strong><br />

biomaterials used in children (Yerit et al., 2005, p. 1).<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Products<br />

There are several companies that produce bioresorbable materials in various <strong>for</strong>ms and<br />

sizes. Micro Engineering Solutions is a company that designs minuscule medical appliances and<br />

devises prototypes <strong>of</strong> these machines. Scores <strong>of</strong> devices made by Micro Engineering Solutions<br />

are biomaterials. Tornier, a medical manufacturing company, makes a product known as the<br />

Resorbable Fixation System that can be used as a tensile system in fractured bones. Some other<br />

leading manufacturers <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable materials are Purac, Lakeshore, and BI.<br />

Research Plan<br />

Titanium in hip replacements is the most common biomedical application used today.<br />

However, when titanium is put into the body, it lasts <strong>for</strong>ever or must be extracted through a<br />

second surgery. Resorbable fixation systems are a new material that can be used in healing minor<br />

bone fractures. These resorbable materials have the ability to be morphed in the <strong>for</strong>m <strong>of</strong> screws,<br />

plates, or mesh. Moreover, the materials will dissolve into the body as water and carbon dioxide<br />

subsequent to the fracture being healed. These bioresorbable materials are <strong>for</strong>med from polymers<br />

<strong>of</strong> poly-lactic acid compounded with poly-glycolic acid. These PLA/PGA compounds are the<br />

most common types <strong>of</strong> bioresorbables. This research will uncover how the length <strong>of</strong> time a<br />

resorbable material is in water affects the bioerosion <strong>of</strong> the material in comparison to the strength<br />

<strong>of</strong> titanium. This will help demonstrate whether titanium or resorbable fixation is a better choice<br />

<strong>for</strong> biomedical healing.<br />

Goals<br />

It is hypothesized that after six weeks, the strength <strong>of</strong> the resorbable materials will have<br />

decreased significantly. The final strength <strong>of</strong> the resorbable materials will be different from the<br />

strength <strong>of</strong> the titanium.<br />

The bioerosion rate <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable materials will be tested in water. Bioerosion is<br />

caused by water entering the polymer and hollowing out the inside, which causes the polymer to<br />

crumble. The independent variable will be the length <strong>of</strong> time the bioresorbable sample will<br />

remain in the water. The dependent variables will be the dimensions <strong>of</strong> the bioresorbable and the<br />

strength <strong>of</strong> the bioresorbable. The solution will be controlled and one variable will be kept in a<br />

nitrogen sealed pouch to maintain its original strength and dimensions. The dimensions <strong>of</strong> a<br />

bioresorbable bar will be measured without placing it in any solution. The strength <strong>of</strong> the<br />

bioresorbable will then be tested using an Instron tensile testing machine. Following the previous<br />

test, approximately thirty bioresorbable bars will be placed into the water. The dimensions will<br />

be measured and the strength <strong>of</strong> five samples each week <strong>for</strong> six weeks will be tested. To find the<br />

strength and dimensions, an Instron tensile tester will be used. This will supply the average<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> degradation <strong>of</strong> resorbable materials over the course <strong>of</strong> a realistic time frame <strong>for</strong> bone<br />

regeneration. Similarly, the titanium samples will be put in water and tested <strong>for</strong> both strength and<br />

dimensions each week. Once the data is collected, statistical analysis will be applied to find if<br />

there is a statistically significant difference in the original strength and dimensions and the final<br />

strength and dimensions. Using this in<strong>for</strong>mation, a conclusion will be made about whether<br />

bioresorbable polymers are really a more effective healing process than titanium bone screws.<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Methodology<br />

The bioerosion rate <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable materials was tested in water. The independent<br />

variable was the length <strong>of</strong> time the bioresorbable sample resided in the water. The dependent<br />

variables were the dimensions <strong>of</strong> the bioresorbable and the strength <strong>of</strong> the bioresorbable.<br />

PURASORB PL 24 (poly-l-lactide compound) bioresorbable polymers obtained from Purac<br />

Biomaterials were tested during this experiment. The polymers were in the shape <strong>of</strong> dog bone<br />

tensile bars. Five tensile bars were left out <strong>of</strong> the water to be used as constants. The remaining<br />

tensile bars were submerged in room temperature water. After five days in the water, the tensile<br />

bars were tested <strong>for</strong> their strength. Three tensile bars that had been in water <strong>for</strong> five days were<br />

tested. All eight <strong>of</strong> the tensile bars to be tested were measured <strong>for</strong> their length, width, and<br />

thickness using a Marathon electronic digital caliper (Model # CO 030150). Each tensile bar was<br />

lifted and placed in the grips <strong>of</strong> an Instron 5544 tensile tester. After the bar was placed between<br />

the grips, they were tightened using an Allen wrench so the samples did not slip out <strong>of</strong> the<br />

machine. The dimensions <strong>of</strong> the sample were entered into the Instron s<strong>of</strong>tware. After zeroing the<br />

load and extension, 5 N were applied to the tensile bar. The test was then started. The Instron<br />

pulled the tensile bars to failure. The above procedure was repeated <strong>for</strong> each <strong>of</strong> the eight tensile<br />

bars tested. In the next testing session, five days later, three more tensile bars were tested using<br />

the above protocol. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> tensile bars were tested after being placed in water every five<br />

days <strong>for</strong> 20 days.<br />

This machine can be used to run tensile strength tests, torsion tests, and<br />

compression tests on samples. During this research, it was used to test the<br />

tensile strength <strong>of</strong> biodegradable tensile bars.<br />

The data from the first tests and the most recent tests was compared. All <strong>of</strong> the tensile<br />

bars were tested <strong>for</strong> strength. The graphs compared the amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce exerted on each sample<br />

to the distance the bar was stretched. After each set <strong>of</strong> bioresorbables was tested, the data was<br />

collected and recorded in the logbook and entered into Excel. The final data was graphed and<br />

used to show the rate <strong>of</strong> degradation <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable polymers in water. This supplied the<br />

average amount <strong>of</strong> degradation <strong>of</strong> resorbable materials over the course <strong>of</strong> two weeks. This data<br />

can be extrapolated to show how the tensile bars degrade during a reasonable time <strong>of</strong> bone<br />

regeneration. Using this in<strong>for</strong>mation, it was determined that the final strength <strong>of</strong> the<br />

bioresorbable materials has a statistically significant difference from the original strength. A<br />

conclusion was made about the strength <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable polymers versus the strength <strong>of</strong><br />

titanium over a period <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Results/ Data Analysis/ Discussion<br />

This experimentation showed that tensile strength did not decrease as the time <strong>of</strong><br />

exposure to water increased. The length <strong>of</strong> fatigue time, however, decreased dramatically due to<br />

the exposure to water. The length <strong>of</strong> fatigue time was inversely proportional to the length <strong>of</strong> time<br />

that the tensile bars were exposed to water.<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Conclusions<br />

Exposure to water affects tensile degradation in ways that were unexpected prior to this<br />

research. Originally, it was believed that the tensile strength <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable tensile bars would<br />

decrease linearly with respect to the time they were exposed to water. After examining the data,<br />

it became clear that tensile strength does not decrease due to exposure to water. A Student T Test<br />

was used to compare tensile strength found after different intervals <strong>of</strong> water exposure to the<br />

control tensile strength <strong>of</strong> no water exposure. The T Test demonstrated that the tensile strength<br />

after zero days <strong>of</strong> exposure to water was not significantly different to the tensile strength<br />

recorded at five, twelve, seventeen, or 22 days. Although the tensile strength did not decrease,<br />

the time <strong>of</strong> fatigue be<strong>for</strong>e failure decreased greatly as the time <strong>of</strong> exposure to water increased.<br />

The Student T Test confirmed that the times <strong>of</strong> fatigue were significantly different <strong>for</strong> intervals<br />

<strong>of</strong> twelve to twenty-two days. The time <strong>of</strong> fatigue <strong>for</strong> the interval <strong>of</strong> five days was not<br />

significantly different from the control time. These results illustrate that although the tensile<br />

strength in term <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce per unit area did not decrease, the tensile bars are still susceptible to<br />

breaking. The tensile bars can withstand the same amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce no matter how long they are<br />

placed in water, but they cannot withstand that <strong>for</strong>ce <strong>for</strong> the same amount <strong>of</strong> time. Once the<br />

maximum load is applied to each tensile bar, the bars that have been exposed to water longer will<br />

fatigue quicker and there<strong>for</strong>e break first. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> tensile bars are a sufficient option <strong>for</strong><br />

internal bone fixation because throughout their time in the body, they will be able to withstand<br />

the same amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce. The average tensile strength <strong>of</strong> titanium alloy is roughly 830 MPa,<br />

whereas the average tensile strength <strong>of</strong> PLA 2.4 bioresorbable tensile bars is approximately<br />

73.85 MPa. Although the tensile strength <strong>of</strong> bioresorbables is so much less than titanium, it is<br />

strong enough to maintain the necessary position to heal bones. As long as the strength stays the<br />

same throughout the healing process, bioresorbable materials are a contender with titanium <strong>for</strong><br />

bone fixation. Even during the last weeks <strong>of</strong> healing, the tensile bars will remain intact under<br />

pressure. The <strong>for</strong>ces will not be able to be applied <strong>for</strong> long periods <strong>of</strong> time, but the tensile bars<br />

will still hold up against internal <strong>for</strong>ces. These bioresorbable materials are a great option <strong>for</strong><br />

facial or non-weightbearing fractures because external <strong>for</strong>ces are not as common to an area <strong>of</strong> the<br />

body that is non-weightbearing. Despite the lower tensile strength than titanium, bioresorbable<br />

tensile bars are an acceptable replacement to titanium fixation without the hassle <strong>of</strong> a removal<br />

surgery.<br />

<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Limitations and Assumptions<br />

In order to complete the research concerning bioresorbable tensile bars, several<br />

assumptions were made be<strong>for</strong>e experimentation. It was assumed that PURAC Biomaterials<br />

shipped the correct tensile bars to be tested. All the tensile bars had the same intrinsic viscosity<br />

<strong>of</strong> 2.4 and did not lose any tensile strength during the shipping process. It was also assumed that<br />

the container in which the tensile bars were stored did not affect the tensile strength. All tensile<br />

bars <strong>of</strong> equivalent intrinsic viscosities and dimensions are assumed to have the same tensile<br />

strength when not exposed to water or any other liquid. It was assumed that the Instron 5544<br />

provided accurate data throughout experimentation. Another assumption was that temperature<br />

did not affect the tensile strength <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable materials. A larger assumption was that water<br />

was a component in causing the breakdown <strong>of</strong> the bioresorbable tensile bars. This research was<br />

limited due to time constraints. The total time period necessary <strong>for</strong> healing bones was unable to<br />

be tested during experimentation because an eight week time frame was unavailable. The number<br />

<strong>of</strong> trials was also limited because <strong>of</strong> the difficulty in obtaining bioresorbable tensile bars.<br />

Throughout conducting tests, several aspects <strong>of</strong> the experiments were controlled. The amount <strong>of</strong><br />

time each tensile bar was exposed to water was controlled within each trial. The containers that<br />

stored the tensile bars in water remained constant during all trials <strong>of</strong> experimentation. The<br />

Instron 5544 that was used to test the tensile bars was the same <strong>for</strong> each test. All tensile bars used<br />

in this experiment had the same intrinsic viscosity and were shipped from the same company.<br />

Although the results collected from this research are consistent, several sources <strong>of</strong> error could<br />

have altered the data. The Instron being used throughout the experimentation could have been<br />

inaccurate, even though it was precise. The time intervals chosen could have been too close<br />

together and there<strong>for</strong>e did not display an accurate representation <strong>of</strong> tensile strength degradation.<br />

If bacteria were able to enter the water that the biomaterials were being tested in, then the<br />

bacteria could have caused degradation to speed up or slow down. These limitations and<br />

assumptions could have altered the results minutely, but the data is still precise.<br />

18


<strong>Degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioresorbable</strong> <strong>Tensile</strong> Bars<br />

Applications and Future Experiments<br />

This research can be extended <strong>for</strong> several practical uses that can help people understand<br />

the benefits and downfalls <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable tensile bars used <strong>for</strong> internal fixation <strong>of</strong> bones.<br />

Several experiments conducted in this research have revealed that tensile strength does not<br />

decrease when the tensile bars are exposed to water. This knowledge will allow people to make<br />

educated choices about the fixation systems available in medical procedures. <strong>Bioresorbable</strong><br />

tensile bars are a safe, strong replacement to titanium fixation devices. Because this research<br />

displays tensile strength as not decreasing, biomaterials could become more common in the<br />

medical industry. As a result, the cost <strong>of</strong> bioresorbable materials could go down significantly.<br />

This would make a more convenient alternative to metal fixation more available to the average<br />

middle class patient. Future research could continue to test tensile strength <strong>of</strong> biomaterials when<br />

they are exposed to other liquids such as bodily fluids or chemicals. Another direction might be<br />

to use tests <strong>of</strong> tensile strength other than extension. Torsion or compression tests would also<br />

provide insightful data into the degradation <strong>of</strong> these tensile bars. This research opens the doors<br />

<strong>for</strong> many extensions in the future.<br />
