An osteosynthesis device that is used, in particular, for securing joint fragments and for the temporary splinting of toes, more particularly for treating hammer toes or other malalignments of toes. The device comprises a pin with the center axis and the length. The pin consists largely of a bioresorbable material. The pin has at least in one section of the length a non-circular cross-section that is orthogonal to the center axis and has a radius of curvature.
