U.S., July 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07693933) titled 'Biodegradable Magnesium Screws for Unstable Ankle Fracture Surgery' on July 03.
Brief Summary: Ankle fractures are among the most common injuries that need surgery. When the broken bones make the ankle unstable, surgeons usually fix them with metal screws and plates. Metal hardware holds the bones in place well, but it can cause irritation, can loosen or break, and often has to be removed in a second surgery later.
This study looks at a different kind of screw called the RemeOs magnesium-based screw. It is made from a magnesium alloy and is designed to slowly dissolve and be absorbed by the body over about two to three years after ...
