BACKGROUND:As a lightweight metal with mechanical properties similar to natural bone, a natural ionic presence with significant functional roles in biological systems, and in vivo degradation via corrosion in the electrolytic environment of the body, magnesium (Mg)-based implants have the potential to serve as biocompatible, osteoconductive, degradable implants for load-bearing applications. On the other hand, Mg, as a critical mediator of cellular growth and activities regulation, is the second most abundant intracellular cation where it plays an important role in enzyme function and trans-membrane ion transport.
OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively summarize the application progress, physiological role and mechanism of Mg, and to review its regulation of bone metabolism.
METHODS:Papers addressing application, physiological and bone metabolism regulation of Mg published in core periodicals were reviewed. Studies in which Mg were used as an assistance materials, or articles regarding cellphysiology in which Mg were not the main research object were excluded. Literatures concerning the regulation of bone turnover by Mg were given special attention.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mg al oys are cytocompatible materials with adjustable mechanical and corrosion properties and show their potential as biodegradable implant materials. Moreover, Mg is abundantly distributed among the body and essential for maintaining physiological function of the cells. Mg deficiency has been associated with a number of clinical disorders including osteoporosis. But it remains to be determined what specific biochemical process is activated by Mg2+to regulate cellular activity and bone turnover. Further investigations of the precise mechanism are valuable to the clinical application of Mg.

BACKGROUND: The femoral neck fracture is a common skeletal injury, with high mortality and disability rate. Nonunion and avascular necrosis in femoral head are the main problems in treatment of femoral neck fracture. Up to now, the guidelines for its management continue to be unsolved and are stil evolving.
OBJECTIVE:This study aims to summarize the incidence of two femoral neck fracture complications, as wel as the advance in prevention and treatment. This work can help to better understand the mechanism of non-union and avascular necrosis, and to choose the optimal management of this fracture.
METHODS:Papers in terms of femoral neck fracture published in core periodicals were reviewed. Studies which are not directly related to femoral neck fracture or articles regarding poly-trauma were excluded. Literatures concerning non-union and avascular necrosis after femoral neck fracture were preferred.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 241 articles were screened out, and those were mainly published in the last five to ten years. 182 unrelated papers were excluded, and 59 papers were included in the analysis. The femoral neck fracture has a high incidence. Nowadays, there are a variety of treatments for this fracture, but the stability and healing result of fractures depend on many factors, such as age, classification of fracture, general condition of patient, and accompanying diseases. Up to now, the choice of management is stil controversial. Imaging representation and patient’s age are not the main factors for the selection of treatment. Hence, a comprehensive assessment of the risk factors that influence fracture healing is necessary for surgeons to choose an optimal treatment of this fracture. Femoral neck fractures, therefore, represent an enormous socio-economic and medical problem and chal enge surgeons to find the cheapest and most effective way to treat them. Internal fixation of the fracture in combination with the use of osteo-inductive materials may be a new way to further improve the treatment effects of femoral neck fracture.
