Abstract

Magnesium (Mg) is the fourth most abundant element in the human body and is important in terms of specific osteogenesis functions. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the use of magnesium-based biomaterials (MBs) in bone reconstruction. We review the history of MBs and their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and osteopromotive properties, highlighting them as candidates for a new generation of biodegradable orthopedic implants. In particular, the results reported in the field-specific literature (280 articles) in recent decades are dissected with respect to the extensive variety of MBs for orthopedic applications, including Mg/Mg alloys, bioglasses, bioceramics, and polymer materials. We also summarize the osteogenic mechanism of MBs, including a detailed section on the physiological process, namely, the enhanced osteogenesis, promotion of osteoblast adhesion and motility, immunomodulation, and enhanced angiogenesis. Moreover, the merits and limitations of current bone grafts and substitutes are compared. The objective of this review is to reveal the strong potential of MBs for their use as agents in bone repair and regeneration and to highlight issues that impede their clinical translation. Finally, the development and challenges of MBs for transplanted orthopedic materials are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
