Hydroxyapatite (HA) coated titanium alloys are available as hard tissue implant material. However, the performance is not satisfactory due to insufficient short-term osseointegration and long-term stability of the implant. Studies show that cation incorporation (Mg) into HA resulted in better biolog...
