More Information
Summary:The invention relates to an implant for the osteosynthesis of the PIP arthrodesis or the DIP arthrodesis of small joints and for the osteosynthesis and stabilisation of fractures of small bones of the human skeleton, said implant being resorbable by the human body. The implant consists of two shafts placed against each other. At least one fixing aid is located between the shafts, said fixing aid protruding beyond the diameter of the shaft. Each shaft can optionally have longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves. The implant consists of a magnesium-based material which can be resorbed by the human body. The invention provides an implant which has an extremely high tensile strength, excellent stability, optimal healing properties, and an optimally adapted resorption speed.
