Abstract EN
MAGNEZIX® (Syntellix AG, Hanover, Germany) is a biodegradable magnesium-based alloy (MgYREZr) which is currently used to manufacture bioabsorbable compression screws.
To date, there are very few studies reporting on a limited number of elective foot surgeries using this innovative implant.
This case report describes the application of this screw for osteochondral fracture fixation at the humeral capitulum next to a loose radial head prosthesis, which was revised at the same time.
The clinical course was uneventful.
Degradation of the magnesium alloy did not interfere with fracture healing.
Showing an excellent clinical result and free range-of-motion, the contour of the implant was still visible in a one-year follow-up.
