Electrochemical test, immersion test, cytotoxicity test and histopathological evaluation were carried out. The results showed that there was a dense protective layer formed on the surface of Mg69Zn27Ca4 metal glass which could inhibit the degradation process in the Hank’s solution. In vitro cytotoxicity test showed that Mg69Zn27Ca4 metal glass had good biocompatibility. Histopathological evaluation showed that the degradation of Mg69Zn27Ca4 metal glass could promote the new bone formation with no obvious inflammatory reactions. After 2 months implantation, the diameter of the bone defect was reduced from the original φ6 mm to φ3.35 ± 0.40 mm with the degradation of Mg69Zn27Ca4 metal glass. Therefore, it can be concluded that Mg69Zn27Ca4 glass has great potential to be used as bone substitutes.展开更多
