PROMOTING PATIENT SAFETY BY A NOVEL COMBINATION OF IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR
BIODEGRADABLE MAGNESIUM IMPLANTS


 

Synchrotron tomography of a Mg screw in bone.

MgSafe is a European Training Network within the framework of Horizon 2020 Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) 2018.
Within this action, 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) address the optimisation
of imaging technologies for biodegradable magnesium implants.

Fractures are typically treated with non‐degradable metal implants, which
commonly require surgical removal after complete bone healing. From the health
care and patients’ point of view, degradable implants provide a viable, cost
effective and patient friendly alternative. In 2013, the first degradable metal
implant made from a Mg‐alloy (compression screw of partner SYNTELLIX) was CE
certified and has be implanted into several 100 patients so far.

Monitoring implant performance and degradation with the existing imaging
techniques is a challenge

The ESRs of MgSafe will push the imaging modalities towards their limits to
monitor the degradation processes of emerging Mg implants optimally and
non‐invasively in animal models with high spatial and temporal resolution.

The results of MgSafe will substantially increase the level of safety for
patients currently treated with Mg‐based implants and will boost the further
development of imaging modalities also on a clinical level.

MgSafe will educate a new generation of young researchers needed for the
development of high‐tech medical devices.
