Magnesium and its alloys are reviewed as potential orthopedic biomaterials due to their biodegradability and mechanical properties similar to bone. Coatings for medical implants aim to improve biocompatibility and control degradation of implants. Biomaterials can elicit bioresponses from the body such as inflammation, thrombogenicity, cytotoxicity, and carcinogenicity, so biocompatibility testing is important.
