Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys are considered as promising bone implant materials due to their natural degradability, good biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties. Therefore, magnesium alloys have received considerable attention in the field of orthopedic implants due to their superior comprehensive properties. In this study, we analyzed the basic information of the top 100 most frequently cited articles on mg alloy orthopedic implants that met the inclusion criteria in the WoS Core Collection database, and the VosViewer software was used for web visualization and keyword analysis. Through bibliometric and visual analysis, this article systematically introduces the research status of magnesium alloy orthopedic implants, discusses the advantages of magnesium and its alloys as orthopedic implants, and explores four strategies to improve corrosion performance, including purification, alloying treatment, surface coating and Mg-based metal matrix composites (MMC). In addition, this paper revealed the future research focus in this field.
