Differentialin vitrodegradation and protein adhesion behaviour of spark plasma sintering fabricated magnesium-based temporary orthopaedic implant in serum and simulated body fluid

The interaction of proteins with implantable metallic surfaces has a great influence on the bioactivity and biodegradation of orthopaedic implants. Initial osseointegration is known to be critical for the long term success of orthopaedic implants. The surface properties of the implant and electrochemical milieu of the surrounding solution such as electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding interactions significantly modulate protein...
