主　　题：Editorial for rare metals special issue on biomedical metal implants 

摘      要：Biomedical metal materials such as titanium, magnesium and their alloys have been widely studied as orthopedic implants or cardiovascular stents due to their desirable mechanical properties and excellent ***, these metal implants still exist some problems in practical application including bacterial infection, lack of bioactivity, and uncontrolled corrosion behaviors. Toaddress these problems, the performance of these metallicimplants can be improved through surface modification andincorporating alloying elements into raw materials ofimplants.
