TL;DR: Magnesium and its alloys have been investigated recently by many authors as a suitable biodegradable biomaterial as mentioned in this paper, and the latest achievements and comment on the selection and use, test methods and the approaches to develop and produce magnesium alloys that are intended to perform clinically with an appropriate host response.
Abstract: Biodegradable metals are breaking the current paradigm in biomaterial science to develop only corrosion resistant metals. In particular, metals which consist of trace elements existing in the human body are promising candidates for temporary implant materials. These implants would be temporarily needed to provide mechanical support during the healing process of the injured or pathological tissue. Magnesium and its alloys have been investigated recently by many authors as a suitable biodegradable biomaterial. In this investigative review we would like to summarize the latest achievements and comment on the selection and use, test methods and the approaches to develop and produce magnesium alloys that are intended to perform clinically with an appropriate host response.

TL;DR: Investigation in vitro of a MMC made of magnesium alloy AZ91D as a matrix and hydroxyapatite (HA) particles as reinforcements have been investigated in vitro for mechanical, corrosive and cytocompatible properties revealed that biodegradable MMC-HA are cytcompatible biomaterials with adjustable mechanical and corrosive properties.
585 citations
TL;DR: The influence of composition and heat treatments on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour of cast Mg-Gd alloys is discussed and recommended for the design of future degradable magnesium based implant materials.
504 citations
TL;DR: Of the elements with high solubility in magnesium alloys, Gd and Dy seem to be more suitable than Y, and La and Ce showed the highest cytotoxicity of the analysed elements.
487 citations
TL;DR: In an attempts to find a correlation between in vitro and vivo corrosion rates, a systematic literature survey is presented, as well as an attempt to correlate the different results.

TL;DR: A brief overview of the available SPD technologies is given in this paper, along with a summary of unusual mechanical, physical and other properties achievable by SPD processing, as well as the challenges this research is facing, some of them generic and some specific to the nanoSPD area.
1,451 citations
TL;DR: The results of tensile tests and in vitro corrosion tests indicated that Mg-1Ca alloy had the acceptable biocompatibility as a new kind of biodegradable implant material and a solid alloy/liquid solution interface model was proposed to interpret the biocorrosion process and the associated hydroxyapatite mineralization.
1,385 citations
TL;DR: It was found that hemolysis and the amount of adhered platelets decreased after alloying for all Mg-1X alloys as compared to the pure magnesium control.
