Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys have the potential to be used for biodegradable orthopedic implants. However, the corrosion rate in physiological conditions is too high for most applications. For this reason, surface modification to slow the corrosion rate is of great interest. Such modifications must remain biologically compatible as well as protective in corrosive environments. What follows is a brief review of recent research in inorganic coatings and surface modifications to create coatings for magnesium-based biomaterials.
