**7. Conclusions**

Magnesium is a very important macroelement for the human body and serves a lot of functions. Its deficiency can cause many disorders and health ailments. Accordingly, magnesium is widely used in therapy, primarily for the treatment of heart disease, cardiovascular system or respiratory system. This became a premise for the use of magnesium and its alloys in medicine as a potential biomaterial for medical implants. The concept of using magnesium alloys as resorbable medical implants assumes that it will be non-toxic to the human body. The alloy components will also be elements present in the human body. The resorbable biomaterial of a magnesium alloy would be an alternative to the previously used implants, mainly orthopedic ones. Unfortunately, the high degradation rate of the magnesium alloy and the release of hydrogen gas in the environment of physiological fluids limit the use of these alloys as a biomaterial. Therefore, the research community continues to test different types of surface treatment for magnesium alloys, to protect it from rapid degradation. Taking into account the results of the global research and the authors' own research, this seems to be the right way to obtain a resorbable biomaterial of magnesium alloy.
