Abstract
was higher than normal for both uncoated and coated scaffolds. There were no significant pathological effects on the main organs of alloy-implanted rabbits compared with healthy animals. Thus, the HT coating significantly improved the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the Mg-Zn-Ca alloy.
