Mechanical and degradation properties of zinc adopted magnesium alloys for biomedical application

The demand for short-term degradable implant in bone fixation applications is growing steadily due to the aging population worldwide. Degradable implants have the advantage that the second surgery for implant removal is not required. Magnesium is one of the best candidates because it is biodegradabl...
