Recent advances on the development of magnesium alloys for biodegradable implants.

Recent research and developments on wrought magnesium alloys

Effect of multimodal microstructure evolution on mechanical properties of Mg–Zn–Y extruded alloy

Magnesium based alloys possess a natural ability to biodegrade due to corrosion when placed within aqueous substances, which is promising for cardiovascular and orthopedic medical device applications. These materials can serve as a temporary scaffold when placed in vivo, which is desirable for treatments when temporary supportive structures are required to assist in the wound healing process. The nature of these materials to degrade is attributed to the high oxidative corrosion rates of magnesium. In this review, a summary is presented for magnesium material development, biocorrosion characteristics, as well as a biological translation for these results.
