Viewpoint - Understanding Mg corrosion in the body for biodegradable medical implants

Abstract

Abstract Accurate prediction of Mg corrosion rates within the body (in vivo) based on laboratory tests (in vitro) is a key challenge for Mg alloys in medical applications. Estimates based on in vitro measurements overestimate the measured Mg corrosion rate in vivo. This indicates that the medical environment and the biocorrosion mechanism is not fully characterised. We summarise (i) the relevant Mg metallurgy, and (ii) the solution factors that influence Mg corrosion in vitro. We analyse the reasons for the disparity between the corrosion rates in vivo and the expected corrosion rates based on in vitro testing, and suggest promising areas of research.

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.
