Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Eligible participants are children aged over 5 and under 14 years who require surgical fixation of a distal radius fracture. The RemeOs™ DrillPin is designed to offer stable fracture fixation while gradually resorbing in the body, potentially reducing the need for implant removal.
Primary objectives include evaluating implantation success-defined by low pain levels (FACES® Pain Rating Scale score \<3) and radiographic fracture healing in at least three cortices out of four across two imaging planes at 12 weeks postoperatively-and assessing short-term safety by monitoring adverse events, including device-related and serious adverse events.
Secondary assessments focus on postoperative clinical function and wrist range of motion (ROM), measured using a goniometer, as well as radiographic markers of implant biodegradation. Long-term safety is evaluated through the monitoring of potential growth disturbances at 52 and 104 weeks, including limb length discrepancies or growth plate abnormalities.
This early-stage investigation aims to generate clinical data on the application of magnesium-based resorbable implants in pediatric fracture care and to assess their potential to support bone healing without interfering with skeletal development.

RemeOs™ DrillPin for Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures
Magnesium-based bioresorbable DrillPin for fixation of distal radius fractures in children
This is a first-in-child clinical investigation of a bioresorbable magnesium alloy DrillPin (RemeOs™) for fixation of distal radius fractures in children aged 5 to \<14 years. The implant is investigational, not CE-marked or FDA-approved, and represents a novel alternative to traditional metallic implants. It gradually degrades in vivo, eliminating the need for removal. The study focuses on safety and feasibility in a pediatric population, supported by preclinical data from a similar Mg-based RemeOs™ Screw. The DrillPin's material and design are intended to support bone healing without growth disturbances, offering a state-of-the-art, bioresorbable solution tailored for growing patients.
