An osteosynthetic implant for a mechanical connection of fractured elements, made of a polymeric biodegradable base material, for use in reconstructive osteosynthesis. An active ingredient assists the regeneration of bone tissue in a fracture area and acts together with the implant to assist growth in the fracture area, so that the mechanical load-bearing capability of the healing fracture increases faster or at least as fast as the load-bearing capability biodegradable implant decreases when decomposing. |
