Gallium-containing magnesium alloy for potential use as temporary implants in osteosynthesis

In recent years magnesium alloys have been studied intensively with a view to their potential use in bioresorbable medical implants. In the present work the microstructure and the corrosion properties of a new bioresorbable Mg-4 wt% Ga-4 wt% Zn alloy and its variants with low Ca, Nd or Y additions w...
