High-resolution ex vivo analysis of the degradation and osseointegration of Mg-xGd implant screws in 3D

Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys can revolutionize osteosynthesis, because they have mechanical properties similar to those of the bone, and degrade over time, avoiding the need of removal surgery. However, they are not yet routinely applied because their degradation behavior is not fully underst...
