 Biomedical implants made of magnesium-based materials have been shown to be strong, biocompatible, and biodegradable, making them ideal candidates for temporary implants. In vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of these materials, with promising results in terms of mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Additionally, the potential applications of MG-based implants and the available fabrication techniques are discussed.
