Description
Lu and five co-authors review magnesium alloys as biodegradable materials for bone defects in a 2025 paper. Bone defects arise from tumors, injury, tissue death, and birth conditions. They cause much suffering and cost. Materials that break down as tissue regrows are strong candidates for repair.
Magnesium alloys offer adjustable breakdown rates, good fit with the body, useful strength, and support for bone growth. Polymers are also used, but metals fill a distinct role. Problems remain: magnesium can degrade too fast and may not drive bone growth strongly enough. The review covers uses and recent advances. It also maps strategies to improve performance for clinical bone repair.
