Abstract:There is an increasing interest in biodegradable materials, such as magnesium, for orthopedic implants. This is driven by their potential to address challenges like stress shielding and the need for secondary removal surgery. In this study, biodegradable magnesium alloys were produced using the Vacuum Induction Casting technique. The impact of micro-alloying Zn and Ca in Mg-xZn-0.2Ca (x= 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 wt%) alloys on corrosion resistance, cytocompatibility, and early-stage inflammatory response was inv… Show more
