Application of new self- absorption metal materials in orthopedic surgical

02/07/2019 09:08

Orthopedic trauma surgery has been developing strongly and using metal nail and screws in trauma care such as open surgery with materials placed on fractures, medullary nailing … Along with the development of science and technology, biological materials are gradually replacing traditional materials in surgery to bring safety effects for patients.

 

With the aim of updating and introducing to colleagues with the new knowledge, useful information on biomedical materials in surgery for bone fracture, Viet Duc University Hospital organized the Seminar “New advances in orthopedic surgery using Magnezix bioabsorbable compression screws”.

 

 Joining the meeting, from Viet Duc University Hospital has Prof. Tran Binh Giang – Director of Viet Duc University Hospital, Ass. Prof. Nguyen Le Bao Tien – Chief of Institute of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery; Ass. Prof. Nguyen Manh Khanh – Chief of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery I Department, Deputy chief of Institute of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery; Specialized doctor 2^nd degree. Doan Viet Quan – Chief of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery 2, Deputy chief of Institute of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery. Especially with the presence of orthopedic expert from National University Hospital in Singapore, Ass. Prof. Chee Yu – Han.

At the meeting, Ass. Prof. Chee Yu-Han introduced  about the use of Magnezix compression screw in bone fracture surgery. With the direct assistance of orthopedic expert from Singapore, during the meeting, the doctors had performed the example surgeries and transmitted the telemedicine for 2 patients with bone fractures by using Magnezix bio-metal metal of Syntellix compression screws – Germany.

Prof. Tran Binh Giang – Director of Viet Duc University Hospital shared: “The successful application of this new material will have more optimal treatment options to improve the quality of life of Vietnamese patients.”.

Magnezix bio-metal compression screw is an important invention in the world for the application of magnesium self-consorption metal materials in medicine, especially in orthopedic surgery field.  Magnezix certified with CE certificate from Europe about safety and efficiency in treatment of bone fracture for patients in 40 countries around the world. With this new material, patients will not need to have a second surgery to remove the screw like before because Magnezix screw will completely absorbed and transformed into endogenous bone. This will help shorten recovery time and save significant costs for patients, avoiding the risks that may be encountered when the patient has to have a second surgery to remove the screw.
