Popis: Research and development on the biomaterials are increasing due to the demand for materials that can bond to the living bones and by any chance can avoid second surgery procedure. Good bonding between bones and biomaterials or artificial implant can avoid loosening that due to the friction and wear. Currently, magnesium alloys are being actively researched because of their ability to serve as structural support in short term and can be absorbed in the body after healing process is completed. The addition of bioactive components such as hydroxyapatite and bioglass into magnesium is made to improve the bioactivity behavior of magnesium alloys. This paper summarizes the past and current studies of magnesium alloys in regards of in vitro bioactivity behavior, biomineralization and apatite formation mechanism.
