“…Among all possible candidates, magnesium alloys attract considerable attention due to their desirable mechanical and biodegradation properties. During the last decades, researchers have shown increasing interest towards magnesium as a potential biodegradable material for bone and cartilage tissue engineering [29,40]. In terms of mechanical properties, magnesium alloys show better characteristics than biodegradable polymers such as…”

“…Some physical properties of the Mg alloys, such as high specific strength and elastic modulus, are closer to those of the natural human bone compared to other traditional metal implants [27,28]. For example, compared to titanium alloys with the elastic modulus of 110-117 GPa, Mg alloys have lower modulus (41-45 GPa) leading to a decreased stress-shielding effect [29,30]. Moreover, Mg alloys are 3-16 times stronger than biopolymers and, at the same time, they are more ductile compared to bioceramics, which can reduce the chance of the device fracturing throughout the implantation process.…”

“…Among the most promising approaches, towards stable and effective composite scaffolds, it is important to note the combination of: a) phase separation or leaching processes, normally for obtaining the soft chondral phase, with b) computer aided rapid prototyping technologies based on addi tive manufacturing, usually for manufacturing the rigid bony phase [34]. In spite of the very positive results shown by metallic rapid prototyped prostheses and scaffolds for bone repair [35], most successful composite scaffolds for osteochondral repair are based on polymer ceramic com posites [31,34,36], polymer polymer composites [37], ceramic ceramic composites [38], ceramic metal composites [39] and metal metal composites [40]. Interestingly, metal polymer composites, which could benefit from the stiffness of metals for the bony phase and from the elasticity of polymers for the chondral phase are not so common.…”
