Abstract
1. The properties and behaviour of ethoxyline resins, which are already well known in industry, are discussed.
2. Experiments in the use of these compounds for the bonding of fractures of the long bones of sheep are described.
3. There has been no evidence of toxic reaction to the presence of the resin in the tissues.
4. Application of the method to fractures in man has been studied, and two such fractures have been bonded with promising early results.
