Abstract
The primary role of bone tissue engineering is to reconcile the damaged bones and facilitate the speedy recovery of the injured bones. However, some of the investigated metallic implants suffer from stress-shielding, palpability, biocompatibility, etc. Consequently, the biodegradable scaffolds fabricated from polymers have gathered much attention from researchers and thus helped the tissue engineering sector by providing many alternative materials whose functionality is similar to that of natural bones. Herein, we present the fabrication and testing of a novel composite, magnesium (Mg)-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) glazed onto polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds where polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) used as a binder. For the composite formation, Creality Ender-3 pro High Precision 3D Printer with Shape tool 3D Technology on an FSD machine operated by Catia design software was employed. The composite has been characterized for the crystallinity (XRD), surface functionality (FTIR), morphology (FESEM), biocompatibility (hemolytic and protein absorption), and mechanical properties (stress-strain and maximum compressive strength). The powder XRD analysis confirmed the semicrystalline nature and intact structure of HAp even after doping with Mg, while FTIR studies for the successful formation of Mg-HAp/PVA@PLA composite. The FESEM provided analysis indicated for the 3D porous architecture and well-defined morphology to efficiently transport the nutrients, and the biocompatibility studies are supporting that the composite for blood compatible with the surface being suitable enough for the protein absorption. Finally, the composite's antibacterial activity (against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and the test of mechanical properties supported for the enhanced inhibition of active growth of microorganisms and maximum compressive strength, respectively. Based on the research outcomes of biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, and mechanical resistance, the fabricated Mg-HAp/PVA@PLA composite suits well as a promising biomaterial platform for orthopedic applications by functioning towards the open reduction internal fixation of bone fractures and internal repairs.

Abstract
Magnesium is currently increasing interest in the field of biomaterials. An extensive bibliography on this material in the last two decades arises from its potential for the development of biodegradable implants. In addition, many researches, motivated by this progress, have analyzed the performance of magnesium in both in vitro and in vivo assays with gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in a very broad range of conditions. This review explores the extensive literature in recent years on magnesium in biomaterials-related infections, and discusses the mechanisms of the Mg action on bacteria, as well as the competition of Mg2+ and/or synergy with other divalent cations in this subject.

Abstract
The current work presents a novel plaster mold casting (PMC) process for fabricating functionally graded biodegradable materials (FGBMs) for orthopedics applications. According to the proposed route, the plaster molds were first prepared by using a hybrid and variable mixture of Plaster of Paris (PoP) and hydroxyapatite (HAP). Upon drying, molten magnesium (Mg) alloy was poured in the mold cavity and allowed to solidify. Various experiments have been conducted as per Taguchi based design of experimentation to study the effect of PoPX/HAP proportion, mixing time, and baking times on mechanical, corrosion, and cytocompatibility performances of the resulting FGBM. It has been revealed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that uniform layers of HAP particles were developed on the prepared specimens, revealed the novelty of the route. The mechanical properties, in case of surface hardness and impact strength, the optimum results were obtained with PoP(x = 90% by wt.) and HAP(y = 10% by wt.). Further, the corrosion investigations highlighted that the sample prepared with PoP(x = 70% by wt.) and HAP(y = 30% by wt.) proportion possessed excellent corrosion resistance. Moreover, the cytocompatibility analysis revealed that all the developed FGBM are substantially bioactive and promoted cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and various other cytoplasmic activities. However, in this case, FGBM with PoP(x = 70% by wt.) and HAP(y = 30% by wt.) proportion was found superior. The overall results of the present work supported the developed FGBM components and involved the PMC route as a potential candidate for various orthopedics fabrications.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that there is a great demand to optimize pure Zn with tunable degradation rates and more desirable biocompatibility as orthopedic implants. Metal matrix composite (MMC) can be a promising approach for this purpose. In this study, MMC with pure Zn as a matrix and hydroxyapatite (HA) as reinforcements were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Feasibility of novel Zn-HA composites to be used as orthopedic implant applications was systematically evaluated. After sintering, HA distributed in the Zn particle boundaries uniformly. Corrosion tests indicated that the degradation rates of Zn-HA composites were adjustable due to the biphasic effects of HA. Zn-HA composites showed significantly improved cell viability of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells compared with pure Zn. Both pure Zn and composites exhibited a low thrombosis risk and hemolysis rates while a Zn ion concentration-dependent effect was found on coagulation time. An effective antibacterial property was observed as well. The volume loss of pure Zn and Zn-5HA composite was 1.7% and 3.2% after 8 weeks' implantation. Histological analysis found newly formed bone surrounding pure Zn and Zn-5HA composite at week 4 and increased bone mass over time. With prolonged implantation time, Zn-5HA composite was more effective on stimulating new bone formation than pure Zn. In summary, MMC is a feasible way to design Zn based materials with adjustable degradation rates and improved biocompatibility. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Biodegradable zinc materials are promising candidates for the new generation of orthopedic implants. However, the slow degradation rates and unsatisfactory cytocompatibility of pure Zn in bone environments limit its future clinical applications. Generally, alloying is a common way to improve the performance of pure Zn. In this study, metal matrix composite was chosen as a novel strategy to solve the problems. Hydroxyapatite, as a bioactive component, was added into Zn matrix via spark plasma sintering. We find that Zn-HA composites exhibited adjustable degradation rates and improved biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo. This study provides exhaustive and significant information including microstructure, mechanical performance, degradation behavior, biocompatibility, hemocompatibility and antibacterial property for the future Zn based implants design.
