Abstract
Disclosed is a synthetic block intended for filling in a bone defect. The block is made up of a part made of ceramic material which has a shape that enables same to fill in the bone defect, and which is capable of being stabilized once placed in the bone defect, a three-dimensional network of channels communicating with one another being formed at least partially in the part such as to allow through the fluids and cells that enable revascularization with a view to cell growth once the part is in place in the bone defect, the channels opening onto each surface of the bone defect in contact with the part once it is placed in the bone defect.

A synthetic block intended for filling in a bone defect at the surface of a bone, wherein the synthetic block is made up of a ceramic material part which has a shape allowing the synthetic block to fill in the bone defect and which is able to be stabilized when placed within the bone defect, a three-dimensional network of channels communicating with one another being at least partially formed within the ceramic material part for allowing through the fluids and cells that enable revascularization for cell growth once the ceramic material part is placed within the bone defect, the channels opening onto each surface of the bone defect in contact with the ceramic material part once the synthetic block is placed within the bone defect.
