Overview

Review highlights improvements in biocompatibility and mechanical integrity of zinc-based alloys, suggesting surface modifications are crucial for implant efficiency.

Key Points

  • Zinc-based biodegradable alloys enhance biocompatibility and degrade safely in the body, offering advantages over traditional metals.
  • Surface modification techniques like anodization significantly improve degradation control and cellular interactions with implants.
  • Alloying zinc with elements such as Mg and Cu has led to increased mechanical integrity, supporting its use in medical applications.
  • The integration of drug delivery systems into surface structures may enable multifunctional implants, suggesting advanced clinical applications.
