The material has many advantages including closer stiffness to that of bone, and can reduce or eliminate stress shielding and eliminates revision surgeries.
About
Technology New alloy composed of magnesium with 0.8% weight of calcium that is similar density to bone, which is biodegradable in the human body. Additionally, the degradation rate of the alloy is controllable by utilizing a hybrid dry cutting hydrostatic burnishing technique. Synergy of a novel biodegradable material and a material processing method that can be processed by Hybrid Dry Cutting-Hydrostatic Burnishing method. Biodegradable Mg-Ca alloy obtains combination of mechanical strength, plasticity, ductility, and corrosion resistance. Degradation rate can be controlled. Advantages The material has many advantages, including; Closer stiffness to that of bone Can reduce or eliminate stress shielding Eliminates revision surgeries Sources https://youtu.be/TcWC4itMhB0?list=PL5Nu2b0zgtKrq9_-v09id3Zd0kdr4JQfG
