Abstract
A major challenge for most commonly used metals for bio-implants is their non-biodegradability that necessitates revision surgery for implant retrieval when used as fixation plates, screws, etc. Magnesium is reported among the most biocompatible metals that resorb over time without adverse tissue reactions and is indispensable for many biochemical processes in human body. However, fast and uncontrolled degradation of magnesium alloys in the physiological environment in addition to their inadequate mechanical properties especially under repeated loading have limited their application in the biomedical field. The present study providesdata on the effect of a relatively simple surface nanocrystallziation method with high potential to tailor the mechanical and chemical behavior of magnesium based material while maintaining its cytocompatibility.
