Implication

Comprehensive review assesses biodegradable and conventional metals for orthopedic implants, highlighting implications for clinical use.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate biodegradable and conventional metallic biomaterials for orthopedic implants, focusing on their mechanical, corrosion, and biological properties.
Comparative analysis of magnesium, zinc, and titanium-based alloys regarding their mechanical properties and corrosion behavior.
Assessment of biocompatibility and implications for clinical applications.
Evaluation of advanced fabrication techniques, particularly additive manufacturing, on implant performance.
Magnesium alloys show rapid corrosion rates, limiting their clinical use.
Zinc-based alloys exhibit beneficial ion release for bone metabolism but have low mechanical strength.
Titanium alloys maintain good mechanical properties but present issues with long-term biocompatibility due to their permanence.
