Abstract
A medical implant assembly includes a body and at least one support removably coupled to the body. The body has an outer surface, a cavity defined by an inner surface, a rim surrounding a cavity opening with a plurality of bores extending from the rim to the outer surface and one or more openings extending between the inner surface and the outer surface. The at least one support includes a first end structured to frictionally fit within one of the plurality of bores and an opposing second end positioned away from the body and structured to be secured to a host bone tissue. At least one of: (i) the at least one support; and (ii) the body, are structured to allow or promote at least one of: (i) bone ingrowth; and (ii) bone ongrowth.
Claims41
A hip implant assembly comprising:
- a body comprising,
- an outer surface,
- a cavity defined by an inner surface, the cavity having a plurality of inner openings extending between the inner surface and the outer surface,
- a rim defining an opening of the cavity, and
- a plurality of bores extending between the rim and the outer surface;
- and
- one or more supports removably coupled to the body that each comprise,
- a first end comprising a tapered surface that is configured to enable a friction fit within one of the plurality of bores, and
- an opposing second end positioned away from the body and configured to be secured to a host bone tissue,
- wherein the first end of the one or more supports is inserted into one of the plurality of bores from the outer surface of the body, and
- wherein the one or more supports are configured to at least partially hold the body away from the host bone tissue and wherein the one or more supports and the body are configured to promote or allow at least one of:
- (i) bone ingrowth;
- and (ii) bone ongrowth.
