Abstract

Magnesium (Mg)-based biomaterials have attracted increasing attention in biomedical applications, such as orthopaedic, cardiovascular, urological, and neural applications because of the biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial properties, and excellent mechanical properties. However, rapid degradation of Mg is the major concern for many clinical applications. Alloying Mg with other elements and engineering proper surfaces are the two approaches to control the degradation of Mg-based biomaterials. Our lab has investigated several classes of Mg-based biodegradable alloys and various surface treatment methods for medical implant and device applications. This mini-review highlights key research progress on Mg-based biomaterials and suggests future directions for Mg-based biomaterials.
