Magnesium (Mg) bioabsorbable screws are new biomaterials used in fracture fixation. In the current literature, there is only one case report on the use of magnesium bio-absorbable screws in ankle fractures. Within the present study, a 19-year-old female who sustained an isolated lateral malleolar fracture was treated with open reduction and intramedullary Mg screw fixation and then followed up for two years. Fracture union was achieved without any complication such as failure of fixation, loss of reduction, infection, or any other adverse reaction. Mg bioabsorbable screws are an alternative method of fracture fixation as compared to conventional metallic implants since they eliminate the need for implant removal.
镁（Mg）生物可吸收螺钉是用于骨折固定的新型生物材料。在当前文献中，仅有一篇关于镁生物可吸收螺钉用于踝关节骨折的病例报告。在本研究中，一名19岁的女性因单纯外踝骨折接受了切开复位和髓内镁螺钉固定治疗，随后进行了两年的随访。骨折实现了愈合，没有出现任何并发症，如固定失败、复位丢失、感染或任何其他不良反应。与传统金属植入物相比，镁生物可吸收螺钉是一种骨折固定的替代方法，因为它们无需取出植入物。
