I had my tibio-fibular syndesmosis (dense fibrous ligament holding the two lower leg bones together just above the ankle) stabilized with two screws made of polylactic acid (a biologically resorbable plastic). This was over three years ago, and the screws were gone after about 9 months. No second surgery.
