Abstract
A system and method for further improving upon an ability of a surgeon to reduce or eliminate impaction forces when installing or assembling a prosthesis. An implant includes a surface treatment for aiding operations with the implant. For example, some surface treatments provide an asymmetry in installation versus removal to bias the associated implant deeper into an installation site.
Claims7
A method for producing a prosthesis configured for an installation into a prepared cavity in a portion of bone, comprising:
- a) manufacturing additively a unitary structure for the prosthesis, said unitary structure including a foundation and an exterior surface layer defined on a portion of said foundation;
- and
- b) establishing, during said step a) manufacturing, a multi dimensional asymmetric stiffness framework within said foundation of said unitary structure.
