Osteosynthesis is a surgical procedure that stabilizes and joins the ends of fractured (broken) bones by mechanical devices such as metal plates, pins, rods, wires or screws.
Biodegradable metallic materials are of great interest for the use as temporary implant material in vascular intervention and osteosynthesis.
The procedure of suturing or wiring together of bone is known as "osteosynthesis." This surgical technique is used to stabilize and align fractured bones, allowing for proper healing and restoration of function. Osteosynthesis can involve the use of various materials, such as metal plates, screws, or wires, depending on the specific case and type of fracture.
