Cover Story: Despite the recent advances in developing medical implants to support the healing of bone fractures, their optimal treatment has not yet been found. Magnesium and its alloys are potential candidates for filling this gap to increase therapeutic success. The mechanistic interaction of magnesium implant degradation and bone tissue remodeling is not yet fully understood, and it represents a barrier for leveraging the full potential of this material class. Our research shows that the bone tissue surrounding magnesium-based alloys and titanium implants differs in maturity and mechanical properties. Moreover, we observed the incorporation of magnesium into the crystal structure of the bones. View this paper
