Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure generally relates to a magnesium alloy including about 2-7% by weight zinc; about 0.2-3% by weight calcium; about 0-1.0% by weight of an alloying element; and a balance of magnesium. The magnesium alloy may include a ternary absorption profile including a first absorption rate, second absorption rate, and third absorption rate, the second absorption rate being approximately slower than the first absorption rate and the third absorption rate. The magnesium alloy may be formed as a portion or more of a bodily implant.
