In ankle fractures with separation of the tibiofibular mortise a metallic syndesmosis screw is generally used. As a rule, this transfixing screw is removed by a separate operation 6 to 8 weeks later. Usually the fracture fixation implants are removed by a second operation later on. In order to eliminate separate removal of the transfixing screw, we used a biodegradable syndesmosis screw in a pilot clinical study.
