Table 3 Magnesium implants pros & cons

Pros	Cons
Bioabsorbable and osteoconductive[1,20]; Higher stability than existing polymers[21,22]; Similar stiffness to bone – less stress shielding[4]; Good biocompatibility[1-4]; Minimal artefacts on MRI and CT[23]	Production of hydrogen gas creates peri-implant radiolucencies[3]; Risk of osteolysis[3,24]; Unproven long term track record

CT: Computed tomography; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging.
