Abstract: A resorbable implant for osteosynthesis for stiffening in a central joint (e.g., the proximal interphalangeal joint referred to as PIP) during arthrodesis or for stiffening in an end joint (e.g., the distal interphalangeal joint referred to as DIP) during arthrodesis and for osteosynthesis and stabilization of fractures of small bones of the human skeleton includes two shafts placed against each other. At least one fixing aid is located between the shafts. The fixing aid protrudes beyond a diameter of the shafts. Each shaft may have longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves. The implant is a magnesium-based material which can be resorbed by the human body. The disclosed implant has a relatively high tensile strength, excellent stability, optimal healing properties, and an optimally adapted resorption speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the surface treatment of a biocorrodable implant by means of alternating cathodic and anodic polarization, and also to a corresponding implant.
Abstract: A method for producing a medical implant, such as a bone screw, a bone nail, a bone pin, a plate, a suture anchor, etc. for fastening soft parts, such as tendons, muscles, and ligaments, to a bone, or in the form of an endoprosthesis or at least a part thereof, from a magnesium alloy having a magnesium fraction of at least 80 wt %, in particular of at least 90 wt %, including the following steps: a) melting the magnesium alloy to obtain an alloy melt, b) atomizing the alloy melt under a protective-gas atmosphere and cooling the atomized alloy melt to below the solidification point thereof in order to obtain an alloy powder, c) shaping the alloy powder by pressing to obtain an alloy green body, d) extruding the alloy green body to obtain a magnesium alloy molded part, and e) producing the medical implant from the magnesium alloy molded part.
