Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to surgical device. More specifically, the present invention relates to bio-absorbable surgical devices, including implantable devices for fixating bone and tissue and non-implantable surgical devices.
- Biodegradable plastics are also sometimes used as the fixation devices to allow repaired ligaments to heal and strengthen. As noted above, such plastic fixation devices do not properly mimic bone characteristics in terms of strength. Nor do these polymer implants encourage bone growth on their receding surface as they absorb. Stronger, tougher and stiffer materials in the current biodegradable plastics are needed for these procedures.
- Mg magnesium
- Al aluminum
- RE Rare Earth
- An alloy base and its alloying elements need to meet the following requirements of non-toxicity: minimal gas bubbling around the implant; normal hematology and serum biochemistry; good osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity; enhanced attached new bone growth of improved density and strength; good cytocompatibility; non-inflammation; good adhesion of osteoblasts; even distribution of alloying elements around the implants; and the addition of essential nutrients to the body, but not exceeding yearly safe limits.
- the present invention provides bio-absorbable fixation devices and retractors constructed of a magnesium alloy that meets the aforementioned requirements.
- the magnesium alloy and processing are specifically tuned for either the fixation device application or the retractor application.
- the fixation device application the particular magnesium alloy and process can be fine-tuned to the healing time/ strength requirements of the particular surgical repair.
- the retractor application the magnesium alloy and process can be tuned to provide the desired strength, allowing for fast absorption of any metal fragments retained within the body of the patient.
- the invention provides a Mg alloy that is hard and strong, providing durability for the entire healing process to any fixation device made of the Mg alloy.
- Magnesium (Mg) is the lightest of structural metals, at 60% of the density of Al, 38% of titanium (Ti) and 20% of stainless steel or cobalt (Co) implants.
- the elastic modulus and yield strength of Mg alloys are closer to bone than alloys used in other metallic implants - thus use of the proposed magnesium alloys maximizing stress transfer at interfaces.
- the fracture toughness of Mg alloys exceeds that of ceramics, hydroxyapatite, polymers and ceramic implants. It is also important to note that Mg is friendly to the body.
- Mg is naturally found in bone tissue and is essential to human metabolism. It is also the 4 th most abundant cation in the human body, is a co-factor for many enzymes, and stabilizes both DNA and RNA. During bio-absorption, Mg from the dissolving implant alloys is absorbed into the new attached bone. As a result, this new bone is denser and stronger than the previously fractured bone.
- the present invention therefore provides a microalloyed magnesium material for absorption in the body of a human or animal, the microalloyed magnesium material consisting of: 0.85 to 1.4 percent by weight of zinc (Zn), 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight of calcium (Ca), 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight of manganese (Mn) with the remainder being magnesium (Mg) and inevitable impurities.

- the present invention provides a method of fixating bone or tissue of a patient comprising the steps of: implanting a fixation device in a patient's body whereby the fixation device secures bone or tissue of the patient together, the fixation device being formed of magnesium (Mg) microalloyed with zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca) and manganese (Mn) to form a microalloyed magnesium material, the microalloyed magnesium material consisting essentially of 0.85 to 1.4 percent by weight of zinc (Zn), 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight of calcium (Ca), 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight of manganese (Mn) with the remainder being magnesium (Mg); absorbing the fixation device in the patient's body over time as the bone or tissue heals; and continuing to absorb the fixation device in the patient's body over time until the fixation device has been completely absorbed into the body of the patient, whereby surgical removal of the fixation device is not performed on the patient.
- Mg magnesium

- Mg has a tendency to corrode in the body. This corrosion is an advantage with the present invention. When the Mg alloy is used in the formation of implants, the implants become temporary and do not require a secondary operation for their removal. Rather, the Mg alloy, and therefore the implants, will be absorbed by the body. This corrosion can further be beneficially utilized to provide an intra-body, electrochemical mechanism for the delivery of medicaments. Infections and inflammation will be further reduced as a result of the reduction in secondary surgeries
- alloying elements as replacements for Al and
- RE were selected to strengthen and toughen the Mg base, while serving as nutrients and having tuned corrosion rates.
- One microalloying criterion was the selection of small ternary additions all of which are strong solid solution hardeners at low levels. Such is the case with zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca) and manganese (Mn), as seen in Table I.
- nanometer-sized zones (mini prisms of 1-3 atom layers) of about 10 x 0.5 nanometers (mn) can be generated from a Mg-Zn-Ca-Mn solid solution by thermomechanical processing (TMP) and/ or heat treatment.
- TMP thermomechanical processing
- These ordered zones contain enriched contents of Zn, Ca and Mn in an ordered atomic array in the hep Mg matrix.
- These elements report to the ordered zones in order to reduce misfits resulting from their difference in atomic size and electronegativity from the Mg atom.
- the energy state of the alloy is lowered and the stability state of the alloy is increased.
- microalloying speeds hardening and minimizes over aging or over alloying that might form excessive intermetallic Ca 2 Mg 6 Zn 3 (cathodic to the Mg matrix) and/or Mg 2 Ca (anodic to that matrix) or Mg 2 Zn. If coarse Mg 2 Zn, Ca 2 Mg 6 Zn 3 and/or Mg 2 Ca phases occur in the cast alloy, these phases are dispersed in a disconnected array by the subsequent homogenization, thermomechanical processing and heat treatment steps.
- the anodic or cathodic and hydrogen generating roles of these coarse phases are decreased; resulting in a sufficient useful life in the body to fulfill their bone support mission, before the degree of absorption of the implant renders them no longer functional as a support element.
- the alloy composition and processing may be tailored to add these coarse phases to accelerate corrosion.
- Mg base and microalloying elements are all essential trace elements in the human body.
- Mg is involved in at least 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and is needed for neuromuscular transmission, for reactions involving ATP, for protein and nucleic acid synthesis and transmission of nerve signals.
- Mg is regulated in the kidney, with excess Mg excreted in urine.
- Ca accelerates bone growth.
- Zn is also recognized as a highly essential element for humans. In Zn deficiency, nearly all the physiological functions are strongly perturbed.
- Mn plays a primary role in activating multi-enzyme systems- hydrolases, kinases, transferases, decarboxylases and micondrial respiration.
- the recommended daily intake (RDI) levels are 310-420 mg/d for Mg, 1000-1300 mg/d for Ca and 8-1 1 mg/d for Zn.
- Mn can be tolerated at 0.5% in 25 g implants that dissolve in 1 year; Zn up to 1.4% in 87 g implants and Ca at 0.5% in larger implants. Microalloying all three elements afforded synergistic strengthening without exceeding the toxicity limits.
- a third strengthening mechanism embodied in the present invention is grain refinement.
- thermomechanical processing specifically by extrusion.
- Example 1 Following the concepts mentioned above and as applied to implants, several Mg based alloys (identified as alloys No. 1-6 in Table III) with non-toxic alloying additions were prepared and tested. After resistance furnace melting under Ar gas and casting in steel molds, the alloys were then homogenized for 24 hours at 400°C to dissolve large as-cast particles of Mg/Ca-Zn phases and then hot rolled at 250°C with a greater than 50% reduction to refine the grain structure. In this Example I, the tensile properties after soaking and rolling are also listed in Table III. Yield strength and ductility were low and erratic, believed to be due to grain boundary intermetallic phases.
- Example 2 As noted in Example 1, the yield strength and ductility of the subject alloys were low and erratic. An application of a special heat treatment was found to remedy this fault in Alloy No.6. Post-rolling solution annealing at 400°C, followed by water quenching was found to dissolve the grain boundary Mg/Ca- Zn phases and to retain the ternary elements in solid solution in a soft condition. By then aging at 200°C, the process activated the ordering of nanostructured phases to impart high strength and elongation to the alloy (see Table IV).
- Example 3 The annealing plus aging treatments found beneficial in Example 2
- Example 4 The above alloys, after annealing and aging, were tested in vitro in phosphate buffered saline solution, Simulated Body Fluid (SBF), at 37°C to simulate bio-absorption rate in vivo. In these tests, H 2 evolution is a direct measure of Mg alloy corrosion, and the results are presented in Table VI.
- SBF Simulated Body Fluid
- Example 5 To examine the effect of the rolling practice on the alloys, the corrosion of
- Alloy No. 3 was tested in SBF as a function of % reduction. As shown in Figure 2 and presented in Table VII, lesser rolling reductions (37-53%) showed lower corrosion rates than higher rolling reductions (77%). Further to the beneficial effect on corrosion, for Alloy No. 3, the 53% rolling reduction provided the best combination of strength and ductility.
- bio-absorption rate could be engineered by manipulation of both composition and processing so as to match the targets for either implantable devices and external components or instruments.
- Example 6 Coarse Mg/Ca- Zn phases were identified in a high Zn alloy of Mg-4.1 Zn-
- corrosion rates can be engineered in fixation devices/implants formed from the Mg based alloy.
- the Mg based alloy can be engineered such that the amount and distribution of coarse anodic and cathodic intermetallic Mg/Ca- Zn phases tailor the corrosion rates to match the desired life of any imbedded object formed from the alloy, whether the object is a fixation device/implant or other device.
- Example 7 In order to determine the effect of Mn on strength and ductility, a series of ternary microalloying heats, varying the Mn content, was prepared, rolled and treated (4 hr/400°C, WQ + 2hr/200°C) as above .
- the base of the alloy was composed of Mg-1 Zn-0.45 Ca, while Mn was varied from 0.2 to 0.6%.
- Table VIII increased amounts of Mn decreased the grain size while increasing the strength, hardness and ductility. Optimum strength and hardness were observed at 0.4% Mn. Table VIII. Effect of Mn content on Mg-1 Zn-0.45 Ca alloy, 4 hr/400°C, WQ + 2hr/200°C
- Example 8 To further affirm the effect of Mn content, in a second series of prepared, rolled and treated (4hr/400°C, WQ + 2hr/200°C) alloys, the Mn content was varied from 0.1 to 0.6 % in Alloys No.12- 16. As seen in Table IX, again, good strength and hardness were found at 0.4% Mn, with hardness decreasing at higher Mn level of 0.6%. Thus, Mn can be capped at 0.5 % to minimize any toxicity threat, since Mn has the lowest RDI levels of the alloying elements used.
- Example 9 To further affirm the negative effect of macro-alloying with Zn, as already seen in Figure 1, additional Alloys No.19 & 20 were prepared with higher Zn contents (see Table X and Figure 5) and compared to an implant alloy, Alloy No. 3. It is notable that the higher Zn contents demonstrated lower strength and/or ductility, along with accelerated corrosion, which is believed to be due to presence of coarse Mg/Ca-Zn phases. Thus, Zn is capped at 1.4%.
- Example 10 In order to determine the effect of Ca content on the strength, ductility and hardness, a series of alloys, Alloy Nos. 26, 27 and 28, were prepared and rolled as above, then subsequently treated with two differing treatments. At 0.6% Ca, excessive slag formed on the melt, but excess slag did not form at 0.2% and 0.4% Ca. As a critical test, the mechanical properties in the transverse direction to rolling are listed in Table XL (Properties in the transverse direction to rolling are usually lower than in the longitudinal direction to rolling, the latter of which is presented in the other Tables). In both the annealed and annealed + aged condition, optimum hardness and aging response were seen at 0.4% Ca. Optimum strength and elongation were also seen at 0.4% Ca. Therefore, Ca was capped at 0.5%, with a minimum of 0.2%.
- Example 1 To test an alternate process to rolling, Alloy No.21, composed of Mg-0.91
- Example 12 To test the lower limits on microalloying an additional alloy, Alloy No.22 composed of Mg-0.67 Zn-0.22 Ca-0.30 Mn (a microalloying of 1.19%, the combined amount of Zn, Ca and Mn), was extruded in the same manner as Alloy No. 21. The aging response of this extrusion is compared to that of Alloy No. 21 in Table XIII. Whereas Alloy No.21, with Mg-0.91 Zn-0.32 Ca-0.38 Mn (microalloying of 1.61%) was responsive to aging, the lower microalloying of Alloy No. 22 did not respond to age hardening. Aging increased the hardness of Alloy No.
- Example 13 To further the definition of processing and to confirm the feasibility of production on a larger scale, Alloys No. 23 and 24 were produced at the commercial production facility of Dead Sea Magnesium Ltd., located in Israel. The alloys were melted under SF 6 cover gas and cast into steel molds as 8 inch diameter 45 Kg billets. The billets were then extruded at 300°C into 1.75 and 0.75 inch round bar stock. The compositions of both alloys are listed in Table XIV and tensile properties and corrosion results of Alloy No. 23 are presented in Table XV.
- Example 14 A comparison of a Al and RE free microalloyed Alloy No. 25 of Mg-1.2
- Example 15 In Vivo Animal Study: Animal experiments were conducted on Alloy No.
- Mg-1.2 Zn-0.36 Ca-0.21 Mn The PLGA-based implant was used as a control group since the goal of the animal study was to establish that the histological reaction surrounding the Mg alloy implant caused no more harm than that of commercial polymer PLGA-based implant.
- the rabbits all also received 3 prophylactic doses of the antibiotic Baytril (enrofloxacin 2.5 - 5 mg/kg).
- the rabbits were examined for lameness, swellings, suture failure and general health condition every day. Sutures were removed in 7 - 10 days.
- the animals were euthanized by an intravenous overdose of 2ml/4.5kg dose of 240mg/ml pentobarbital after sedation.
- NAF neutral buffered formalin
- Nanotom-m (GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies GmbH). 3D-images were constructed for measuring volume loss in implant and to study morphological features of the corrosion process. 2D slice stack analysis was used to compare the volume of the implant after exposure to the volume defined by the original dimensions. (See Figure 8)
- the graph presented in Figure 10 shows a qualitative volume of magnesium screw using the 3D software tool package. Utilizing this data trend and corrosion modelling 1 , a dissolution rate of -0.9 mm/yr was determined. This is near the target rate for use of Alloy No. 25 for implanted screws.
