Bioabsorbable materials, however, can degrade and slowly be replaced by autologous bone tissue. A suitable material is requested to offer great biocompatibility alongside excellent mechanical properties and a reasonable corrosion rate. Zinc\u2013silver alloys provide these characteristics, which makes them a promising candidate for research. This study investigated the aptitude as a bioabsorbable implant of a novel zinc\u2013silver alloy containing 3.3 wt% silver (ZnAg3). Here, the tensile strength as well as the corrosion rate in PBS solution (phosphate buffered solution) of ZnAg3 were assessed. Furthermore, shear tests, including fatigue and quasi-static testing, were conducted with ZnAg3 and magnesium pins (MAGNEZIX\u00ae, Syntellix AG, Hannover, Germany), which are already in clinical use. The detected corrosion rate of 0.10 mm\/year for ZnAg3 was within the proposed range for bioabsorbable implants. With a tensile strength of 237.5 \u00b1 2.12 MPa and a shear strength of 144.8 \u00b1 13.2 N, ZnAg3 satisfied the mechanical requirements for bioabsorbable implants. The fatigue testing did not show any significant difference between ZnAg3 and magnesium pins, whereas both materials withstood the cyclic loading. Thus, the results support the assumption that ZnAg3 is qualified for further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfb15020028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]],"date-time":"2024-01-25T03:59:42Z","timestamp":1706155182000},"page":"28","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Rate of ZnAg3 as a Novel Bioabsorbable Material for Osteosynthesis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6815-2505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Roesner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"G.E.R.N.
