Novel design of a coral-like open-cell porous degradable magnesium implant for orthopaedic application

The aim of this study was to use degradation prediction and in-vivo evaluation to inspire a novel design of magnesium (Mg) implant having a coral-like open-cell porous interior and an outer solid casing. In this design, the porous interior acts as a bone-mimic channel for tissue infiltration and cel...
