The evolution of orthopedic implants has long been driven by the need for materials that balance mechanical support with biological compatibility. Traditional metallic implants, such as titanium and stainless steel, provide robust structural integrity but often necessitate secondary surgeries for removal and can impede natural bone remodeling due to stress shielding. Magnesium (Mg)-based bioresorbable implants represent a transformative alternative, leveraging the element’s inherent biocompatibility and degradability to support bone regeneration while eliminating the need for explantation.

Kinematic alignment and mechanical alignment are two different philosophies used in knee replacement surgery to achieve optimal joint function and patient outcomes. Kinematic Alignment (KA) and Mechanical Alignment (MA) represent two distinct approaches to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), each with its own philosophy, techniques, and outcomes. Understanding the differences between these approaches is crucial for orthopedic surgeons and patients considering knee replacement surgery.
