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.

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.

TL;DR: The formation of abundant new bone at peripheral cortical sites after intramedullary implantation of a pin containing ultrapure magnesium into the intact distal femur in rats suggests the therapeutic potential of this ion in orthopedics.

TL;DR: A review of state-of-the-art of magnesium alloy implants and devices for orthopedic, cardiovascular and tissue engineering applications is presented in this article, where advances in new alloy design, novel structure design and surface modification are overviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical, biocorrosion properties and biocompatibilities of currently reported Mg alloys were summarized with the mechanical properties of bone tissue, the healing period postsurgery, the pathophysiology and toxicology of the alloying elements being discussed.
