Magnesium alloys have been studied as a candidate material for bone regeneration devices due to their bone-like mechanical properties, enhanced osteoconductivity and the ability to safely degrade in vivo. When Mg alloys degrade in vivo they release Mg2+ ions which in previous studies have been prove...
