Overview

Review examines zinc-based alloys for orthopedic implants, highlighting mechanical and corrosion advantages.

Key Points

  • This review aims to analyze the mechanical performance and corrosion behavior of zinc-based alloys in biomedical applications.
  • Reviewed literature on zinc-based alloys and their mechanical characteristics and corrosion behavior.
  • Discussed alloying with elements like magnesium, lithium, and copper to enhance properties.
  • Assessed biodegradation rates and surface modifications for clinical improvements.
  • Zinc alloys exhibit improved mechanical strength compared to pure zinc, enhancing load-bearing capability.
  • Biodegradation rates are optimal, reducing the need for secondary surgeries in patients.
  • Evidence supports zinc alloys as a viable alternative for orthopedic implants, with further research needed.
