Indications
MAGNEZIX® implants are used for re-establishing bone continuity after fractures and osteotomies (osteosynthesis) as well as for treating pseudoarthroses (re-osteotomies).
The indications are reconstructive methods after fractures, malpositioning and/or other pathological bone changes of the human skeleton.
The implants can be used in accordance with their dimensions for treating children, young people and adults, for the adaption and exercise-stable fixation of bones and bone fragments.

- Tatarsal and metatarsal corrections with the main focus on Hallux valgus

Additional dimensions and new implant types (such as the MAGNEZIX® CSc 4.8) open up new ranges of indications particularly in traumatology and sports surgery.
