The present work takes the benefit of employing a composite approach by reinforcing the pure Mg with bioinert and bioactive ceramic powders for strengthening and reducing their degradation inside the human body to make it a suitable candidate for orthopaedic implants. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was...

Zn is a promising biodegradable metal that shows huge potential as bioresorbable implant material as it possesses outstanding biocompatibility and high corrosion resistance than Mg. However, the low value of mechanical strength and hardness has hugely restricted its application. Moreover,...
