Fractures fixed by Mg plates exhibit greater callus formation and biodegradability than fractures fixed by titanium plates. Internal fixation was performed on the right tibia of six-month-old female Japanese white rabbits in either the Ti (group T) or Mg (group M) plate groups (7 rabbits each). Twelve weeks later, lower limbs were harvested and observed macroscopically (A and B) and biodegraded Mg plates were removed (C).
