Programmable implant having curved or arced struts
Various embodiments of implant systems and related apparatus, and methods of operating the same are described herein. In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure, including a space truss, configured to interface with human bone tissue. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes. Implants are optimized for the expected stress applied at the bone structure site.
Implant interface system and device
In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue. In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes accessing an intersomatic space and inserting an implant into the intersomatic space. The implant includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue.
IMPLANT HAVING A SHAFT COATED WITH A WEB STRUCTURE
In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss may have a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue. At least some struts may form an irregular pattern in the web structure. The space truss may include two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes.
IMPLANTS HAVING BONE GROWTH PROMOTING AGENTS AND METHODS OF USING SUCH IMPLANTS TO REPAIR BONE STRUCTURES
Various embodiments of implant systems and related apparatus, and methods of operating the same are described herein. In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure, including a space truss, configured to interface with human bone tissue. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes. Implants may be coated with or include fibers or particles to enhance bone growth around and through the implant.
