Abstract:

In this article, we are presenting some findings of magnesium corrosion in an in vivo model. While there is consensus that subcutaneous bubbles will occur, it was found in our corrosion-accelerated model that magnesium corrosion is more severe in areas under the gas bubbles. This finding may bring insights to novel methods in reducing the uneven corrosion.
