Appearance of samples used in the resorption experiment: magnesium alloy screws on the left-hand and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) screw on the right-hand side. All screws had a length of 14 mm. Their length did not change during the experiment. The photographs were not scaled; hence the different lengths in the picture. Asterisks indicate statistical significance in the pull-out force.
