Biodegradable implants eliminate the need for a second surgery to remove them, thereby accelerating the healing process and reducing health risks, costs, and scarring. The ability of these implants to dissolve without leaving toxic substances, along with their favorable mechanical properties, reinforces the significance of magnesium alloys for implant applications. Considering the advancements in microsurgery and quality standards in implant manufacturing, micro milling is the most suitable production method. Surface modification of implants by micro milling can improved the degradation behavior of the implant. However, compared to macromachining, challenges such as increased tool wear and maintaining tight tolerances persist. The literature review reveals limited research on the micro milling of magnesium alloys. This study evaluates the importance of magnesium alloys in implant applications and addresses challenges associated with micromachining them. In this way, it is aimed to contribute to the manufacturing of biodegradable magnesium implants by the micro milling method.
