%X Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys degrade under physiological conditions.,But how strong is the connection between the implant, the corrosion layer and the surrounding tissue, namely bone? Biomechanical tests like push-out tests have shown that a degraded Mg-pin is surprisingly well integrated with the bone “as,reported by Castellani et al. (Acta Biomater 7(1):432–440, 2011) [1]”.,High-resolution synchrotron tomography offers a deep look into the microstructure of the material as well as of the bone during deformation until fracture happens.,Here we present first data from an in situ tomography experiment of a biodegradable Mg-based implant under compressive load showing how Mg implants are incorporated into bone.
