Magnesium screws for ankle fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests biodegradable magnesium screws for fixing unstable ankle fractures. These screws naturally dissolve over time, so you wouldn't need a second surgery for hardware removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a closed (not open) unstable ankle fracture that needs surgery.
- Your BMI is 40 or less.
- You are not allergic to magnesium or the implant materials.
- You can attend follow-up visits and fill out questionnaires.

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.
This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
This study looks at how well a magnesium-based bone filler (Mg OSTEOCRETE) works for people who need it after bone tumor removal, to fix loose implants, or to help heal bone from injuries. Researchers want to track outcomes to see how helpful it is.
This trial tests a new type of plate and screw made from a special magnesium material that slowly dissolves in the body. It is used to fix jawbones during surgery, and because the material dissolves, you may not need a second surgery to remove the hardware.
This trial tests a new type of metal rod (made of magnesium and titanium) that surgeons insert into broken bones to hold them steady while they heal. The rod is designed to gradually dissolve as your bone heals, potentially reducing the need for a second surgery to remove it.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed metal implant made of a special magnesium alloy that dissolves over time. It is designed to help mend broken bones near joints, such as wrist, shoulder, or knee fractures, where there is a missing piece of bone.
