Abstract

Last few decades has seen enormous growth in terms of bone replacement materials. Relying on their desirable mechanical properties (strength and toughness), metallic materials such as stainless steel and titanium based alloys have been widely used for the application of bone fixation(replacement). However, these materials have their own limitations. For example, high modulus of elasticity of steel and titanium alloys can lead to bone atrophy, they have good corrosion resistance but wear followed by corrosion may lead to release of toxic ions in the body. Alternatively, ceramic, polymeric and composite materials have been tried as bone replacement materials. In recent years the research focus is shifted to using bioresorbable materials as bone replacement. In this regards, magnesium based implants have been investigated extensively. Magnesium metal has moderate elastic modulus and density similar to that of bone.
