Abstract
Magnesium and magnesium alloys have great application potential in the field of orthopaedics. Compared with traditional inorganic nonmetallic materials and medical polymer materials, magnesium alloys have many advantages, such as better strength, toughness, fatigue resistance, and easy processing. Its mechanical properties are suitable and controllable. It can meet the same elastic modulus, cell compatibility, and biodegradability as human cortical bone. There are also some drawbacks for biodegradability, as magnesium and its alloys, with their high degradation rate, can cause insufficient integrity of the mechanical properties. This paper summarises the research on magnesium and its magnesium alloy materials in the field of bone implantation, looking at what magnesium and its magnesium alloys are, the history of magnesium alloys in bone implant materials, the manufacturing of magnesium alloys, the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys, the bio-compatibility and clinical applications of magnesium alloys, the shortcomings, and the progress of research in recent years.
