Abstract: Magnesium is one the most important trace mineral in the human body. It plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes which includes enzymatic reactions, neural activity and muscle function. The significance of magnesium generally gets overlooked which sometimes can result in hypomagnesemia or magnesium deficiency in serum concentrations. Magnesium like calcium is very good for skeletal health and it takes part in helping in the absorption of calcium onto bones. This study explores the multifaceted importance of magnesium in human body, with an emphasis on its function in enhancing the bone health. It delves into the orthopedic applications of magnesium and highlights its use in fracture healing, bone density improvement, as a component in biodegradable implants. We have studied all the recent advancements in magnesium-based biomaterials, discussing their mechanical properties, biocompatibility and their potential to revolutionize orthopedic treatments.
