Bioabsorbable, osteopromoting fixation plate

A bone stabilization device for stabilizing a plurality of bone portions comprising:

• an osteopromoting bioabsorbable osteosynthesis plate comprising a material that is substantially deformable at room temperature, said plate having a plurality of fastener openings disposed therethrough, and said plate further comprising at least one surface that is coated with an osteopromoting coating comprising fibers or fiber fabric, whereby said plate is capable of stabilizing said plurality of bone portions for a period of at least four weeks in vivo.

A method for securing a plurality of bone portions using a bioabsorbable osteosynthesis plate, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a bioabsorbable osteosynthesis plate, said plate comprising at least one surface coated with osteopromoting fibers or fiber fabric;
• deforming said osteosynthesis plate at room temperature;
• securing said osteosynthesis plate to said plurality of bone portions so that said osteopromoting coating contacts said bone portions.

A bone stabilization device for stabilizing a plurality of bone portions, said bone stabilization device comprising:

• a resorbable osteosynthesis plate comprising a material which is selected from the following group:
• polylactide and polyglycolide homo- and copolymers, polyorthorsters, pseudo- polyaminoacids, and polyanhydrides, said plate having an osteopromoting coating on at least one surface of said plate comprising fibers or fiber fabric, whereby said plate is capable of stabilizing said plurality of bone portions for a period of at least for weeks in vivo.
