µXRF Elemental Mapping of Bioresorbable Magnesium-Based Implants in Bone

This study investigated the distribution of the elemental constituents of Mg-based implants at various stages of the degradation process in surrounding bone tissue, with a focus on magnesium (Mg), as the main component of the alloy, and yttrium (Y), due to its potential adverse health effects. The m...
