Abstract
The present invention provides a method for producing a bone joining device having a head portion, the method comprising the step of press-molding a (primary) molded article to form a head portion, and a bone joining device having a head portion, wherein the molecular orientation in the (primary) molded article is substantially maintained.
Claims1
A method for producing a bone joining device having a head portion, the method comprising a step of forming a head portion by press-molding a molded article which comprises a biodegradable and bioabsorbable polymer, wherein thread grooves are formed by pressing with a multi-piece mold having thread grooves and joining portions, wherein the method comprises a first pressing and at least one additional pressing, wherein each of the at least one additional pressing follows a previous pressing and is carried out in such a manner that the joining portions of the mold fall on other parts of the molded article than those formed by the previous pressing.
