PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved bone fixation/fusion device.SOLUTION: There is provided a bone fixation/fusion device 10' comprising a body adapted for placement in association with a fracture line or between different bone segments 14, a portion of the body including a region 12 permitting bony in-growth and/or through-growth. The body may have a rectilinear configuration, a curvilinear configuration, or an elongated configuration, and may include a cannulated region. Further, the body may include a region that couples to another bone fixation/fusion device to form a composite device. The body may couple to a stabilization element. The device may comprise a body adapted for placement in association with a fracture line or between different bone segments, the body including a first region of essentially non-resorbable material and a second region of essentially resorbable material.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 16 【課題】改良された骨固定／融合デバイスを提供する。【解決手段】骨折線とともに、または異なる骨セグメント１４間で配置するために適合された本体、該本体の一部分が、骨の内生長および／または貫通生長を許容する領域１２を備える、骨固定／融合デバイス１０'が提供される。上記本体は、直線に進む形態、曲線形態、細長い形態であり得、そしてカニューレ挿入領域を含み得る。さらに、上記本体は、別の骨固定／融合デバイスと連結する領域を含み、複合デバイスを形成し得る。上記本体は、安定化要素に連結され得る。上記デバイスはまた、骨折線とともに、または異なる骨セグメント間で配置するために適合された本体を備え、この本体が、本質的に再吸収可能でない材料の第１の領域、および本質的に再吸収可能な材料の第２の領域を含み得る。【選択図】図１６
