Abstract
An endoprosthesis for orthopaedic applications comprising a prosthesis body suitable for interfacing between a first and a second bone at a first and a second wall respectively. The prosthesis body, at least one of said walls, comprises a fixing interface suitable for favouring the osteo-integration with an associable bone, which is spaced from one of the walls of the prosthesis body by a plurality of spacer elements for forming a meatus between the interface and the wall, said meatus determining cavities and undercuts suitable for seating growing bony tissue. The fixing interface comprises a reticular structure having a plurality of meshes integrally interconnected to each other and suitable for favouring the osteo-integration.

Endoprosthesis for orthopaedic applications comprising
- a prosthesis body suitable for interfacing between a first and a second bone or portions of bone,
- the prosthesis body being provided with a first wall suitable for interfacing with said first bone and a second wall suitable for interfacing with said second bone,
- means for fixing the prosthesis body suitable for obtaining a fixing of the prosthesis to at least one between the first and the second bone,
- the prosthesis body, at least one of said walls comprising a fixing interface suitable for favoring the osteo-integration with an associable bone,
- wherein
- the fixing interface is spaced from one of the walls of the prosthesis body by a plurality of spacer elements integrally connected to the prosthesis body for forming a meatus between the interface and the wall, said meatus determining cavities and undercuts suitable for seating growing bony tissue,
- the fixing interface comprises a reticular structure having a plurality of meshes integrally interconnected to each other, the meshes having circular section relative to a section plane perpendicular to the associable wall of the prosthesis body.
