Biopolymers are most commonly used in many medical applications nowadays. Polylactic acid is widely used for many biological applications due to its biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic properties. In this review, Polylactic acid usage in medical applications like tissue engineering, fracture repairs, orthopedic, drug delivery carriers, antimicrobial agents, stents is considered. The current medical field scenario briefly reviewed to assess Polylactic acid’s potential usage and its derivatives in biomedical applications.
