Analysis of magnesium hybrid nanocomposites For biodegradable orthopaedic implant Applications

Abstract

There are a number of factors such as age, accidents, illness and injuries that are newlineresponsible for fracture and defects in bones. The issue has been on the rise due to newlineincreasing population, especially in developing and vastly populated countries like India. newlineHence, researchers have focussed on developing biocompatible implants to support the newlineprocess of bone healing without any damage to the surrounding tissues. The newlinebiocompatible orthopaedic implants can be either permanent or temporary. The newlinepermanent implants have to be manually removed once the bone heals and this requires newlinean additional surgery. The temporary implants eliminate this second surgery because newlineonce inserted, they facilitate bone repair and degrade within the body without any harmful newlineside effects. Hence, they are also called as biodegradable implants.
