Comparative Assessment of In Vitro and In Vivo Biodegradation of Mg-1Ca Magnesium Alloys for Orthopedic Applications

Abstract: Use of magnesium implants is a new trend in orthopedic research because it has several important properties that recommend it as an excellent resorbable biomaterial for implants. In this study, the corrosion rate and behavior of magnesium alloys during the biodegradation process were determined by in vitro assays, evolution of hydrogen release, and weight loss, and further by in vivo assays (implantation in rabbits’ bone and muscle tissue). In these tests, we also used imaging assessments and histological exam… Show more

“…The results are given as average values ± standard deviation for the replicate measurements. Biodegradability is an important characteristic of materials considered for various biomedical applications (e.g., drug delivery applications), even more so in the case of implantable materials [44]. For dissolution to occur, such material (in our case, a hydrogel) must absorb the surrounding aqueous solvent and interact with water via charge interactions or hydrogen bonding mechanisms [45].…”

“…As temporary orthopedic implant materials, magnesium and its alloys have great advantages because of comparable mechanical properties and good biocompatibility with natural bone [1][2][3][4]. In addition, compared with other traditional implant materials, the degradability of magnesium alloy avoids the secondary removal of implants [5].…”

“…Magnesium alloy is the lightest metal structure material in engineering application. It has broad application prospects in aerospace, automobile, and other fields due to its high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and good machinability [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. However, the low absolute strength and plasticity of magnesium alloy has seriously restricted its wide application in industry [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”
