“…Temporary intervention is desirable in some specific orthopedic, cardiovascular, and pediatric applications. Biodegradable materials can avoid the negative effects associated with long-term implants, for instance, stress shielding, inflammation, thrombus formation, migration of the implant, and re-intervention to remove devices with a transient function [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Degradable biomaterials represent the next generation of highly bioactive materials, which are envisaged to facilitate the restoration of diseased tissue and thereafter naturally decompose in the human body environment without leaving toxic degradation products, to be replaced by healing tissue [ 2 , 6 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
