Tornier's Resorbable Fixation System

At last weeks AAOS meeting in San Fransisco, CA, Tornier announced the launch of a new Resorbable Fixation System; The RFS Cannulated Screw System. Here is the expert from their press release:

The RFS™ Cannulated Screw System, in limited release in the U.S., is a new delivery system for the Company's RFS (Resorbable Fixation System) line for the repair of fractures and other bone disorders of the foot. The new cannulated version provides surgeons an option to deploy the RFS screw using a guide wire for improved precision and simplified delivery. The RFS material technology features auto-compression that causes the screw to contract in length while expanding in diameter in hydrolytic conditions, providing sustained compression during bone healing.
