讲座摘要：Magnesium alloys have attracted interest as biomaterials for biodegradable metallic implants due to their biodegradability into the human body, and as their mechanical properties match closer to bones than other biodegradable materials or currently used metals for metallic implants. Metallic implants made by biodegradable magnesium alloys have several advantages over other implantable metals currently in use, such as eliminating both the effects of stress shielding, corrosion and the requirement of a second surgery for implant removal. Unfortunately, the fast degradation rates of magnesium alloys impose some limitations on their clinical applications. This necessitates development of implants with controlled degradation rates to match the kinetics of bone healing. Surface coatings to control biodegradation of magnesium-based alloys offer the flexibility to be easily modified for specific applications and have significantly less investment. Since different bioceramics like hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate or bioactive glasses are well tolerated by living organisms, they appear to be the excellent candidates for coatings on magnesium alloys. There are several methods that could be used for bioceramics coatings on biodegradable magnesium alloys. The surface design of Mg-based materials should base on their application situations, such as implantation sites, surrounding biological environment and required service duration. After proper surface design and bioceramic coatings, magnesium alloys could be considered a very promising candidate for biodegradable implants used in orthopedics, dentistry, and neurosurgery.
