“…A number of tools can be considered for the improvement of resorbable implants' rendering. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been used in several studies to simulate and evaluate the performance of permanent fixation hardware [45][46][47][48]. In section 3.2., we will discuss different kinds of Mg coating.…”

Metallic alloys have been introduced as biodegradable metals for various biomedical applications over the last decade owing to their gradual corrosion in the body, biocompatibility and superior strength compared to biodegradable polymers. Mg alloys possess advantageous properties that make them the most extensively studied biodegradable metallic material for orthopedic applications such as their low density, modulus of elasticity, close to that of the bone, and resorbability. Early resorption (i.e., <3months) and relatively inadequate strength are the main challenges that hinder the use of Mg alloys for bone fixation applications. The development of resorbable Mg-based bone fixation hardware with superior mechanical and corrosion performance requires a thorough understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of Mg alloys. This paper discusses the characteristics of successful Mg-based skeletal fixation hardware and the possible ways to improve its properties using different methods such as mechanical and heat treatment processes. We also review the most recent work pertaining to Mg alloys and surface coatings. To this end, this paper covers (i) the properties and development of Mg alloys and coatings with an emphasis on the Mg-Zn-Ca-based alloys; (ii) Mg alloys fabrication techniques; and (iii) strategies towards achieving Mg-based, resorbable, skeletal fixation devices.

“…While the majority of previous studies assume homogeneous and isotropic material properties for bone (Duda et al, 2002, Anitha et al, 2013, Benli et al, 2008, Fouad, 2010, Ganesh et al, 2005, Moazen et al, 2012, Stoffel et al, 2003, Ma et al, 2013, Ebrahimi et al, 2012, Luo et al, 2013, more complex models generally include either homogeneous orthotropic (Kim et al, 2010, Krishna et al, 2008, Taheri et al, 2012 or heterogeneous isotropic typically derived from CT attenuations (Wieding et al, 2012, Gray et al, 2008, Schileo et al, 2007.…”
