Study of bioabsorbable screws for ankle, knee, and elbow fractures in kids
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special screw that dissolves over time to fix broken bones in the ankle, knee, or elbow. It may help children and teens avoid a second surgery to remove metal screws.
