In the field of biomedical materials, significant clinical achievements have been made in the research of degradable magnesium alloy implants. Pure magnesium and magnesium alloy bone screws and plates, jointly developed by universities and hospitals, have demonstrated promising results in clinical trials for fracture treatment. Compared to traditional stainless steel or titanium alloy implants, magnesium alloy implants gradually degrade and are absorbed within the human body. This eliminates the need for painful secondary surgeries to remove them and promotes bone growth through their degradation products. The latest follow-up data indicates that patients are recovering well with no adverse inflammatory reactions. This technology is expected to be commercialized within the next few years, benefiting a large number of patients.
