Mechanical Properties and In Vitro Corrosion Behaviors of Biodegradable Magnesium Alloy Suture Anchors

Biodegradable suture anchors based on Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy were developed for ligament-to-bone fixation in rotator cuff surgeries. The Mg alloy anchors were designed with structural features of narrow tooth and wide tooth, and simulated through finite element analysis (FEA). Meanwhile, the corrosion be...
