More Information
Summary:A glenoid implant that is 3D-printed or machined from ceramic and/or metal as a substitute for an autograft or allograft in a surgical repair. Structural supports composed of metal are designed in the interior of the implant for support during implantation and post-operation. The remainder of the volume of the implant is composed of a material having optimal pore structure for rapid bone integration and healing. La présente invention concerne un implant glénoïde qui est imprimé en 3D ou usiné à partir de céramique et/ou de métal en tant que substitut pour une autogreffe ou une allogreffe dans une réparation chirurgicale. Des supports structuraux composés de métal sont conçus à l'intérieur de l'implant pour servir de support pendant l'implantation et après l'intervention. Le reste du volume de l'implant est composé d'un matériau ayant une structure de pores optimale pour une intégration osseuse et une cicatrisation rapides.
