Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for producing an implant, wherein a natural bone microstructure of a natural bone region is detected (S1), an implant region in the natural bone region is marked (S2), the detected bone microstructure in the marked implant region is analysed to determine reproduction parameters (S3), and on the basis of the determined reproduction parameters, an artificial microstructure for producing the implant is created (S4).
Claims19
A method for producing an implant, comprising:
- a) capturing (S1) a natural bone microstructure (nKM) of a natural bone area;
- b) marking (S2) an implant area (TB) in the natural bone area;
- c) analyzing (S3) the captured bone microstructure (3D-mKM) in the marked implant area to ascertain reproduction parameters;
- and
- d) constructing (S4) an artificial microstructure (14) on a basis of ascertained reproduction parameters to produce the implant (1), wherein
- the implant is a rod-shaped joint implant for new tissue formation at a joint, which has a hydrophobic surface that facilitates chondrocyte differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.
A device to produce an implant, comprising:
- a capture device (V1) to capture a natural bone microstructure (nKM) of a natural bone area;
- a marking device (V2) to mark an implant area (TB) in the natural bone area;
