Abstract:Bone defects are very challenging in orthopedic practice. There are many practical and clinical
shortcomings in the repair of the defects by using autografts, allografts or xenografts, which continues to
motivate the search for better alternatives. Magnesium-based metals have been increasingly studied in the
past decade, and most studies are involved in their potential to be used as biodegradable implants due to
their bio-compatibility combined with outstanding physical and mechanical properties. Their mechanical
strength, degradation rate and bio-compatibility are taken as predominant advantages compared with
commercialized bone substitutes. Thus, biodegradable Mg-based metals can be potential candidates as
bone graft substitutes for future orthopaedic applications.
