Abstract
Prosthetic implant including a solid portion shaped like a first portion of a human skeletal structure and a suture portion, connected to the solid portion, and shaped like a second portion of a human skeletal structure complementary to the first portion. The suture portion includes a suture body, having a multitude of interconnected internal cavities within which a suture instrument is directed, or can be directed, through an external surface of the suture body. The suture body further includes a multitude of holes uniformly distributed on the external surface of the suture body and opening into the internal cavities. The external surface of the suture body defines a suture surface of the prosthetic implant configured to enable biological tissue to be sewn to the prosthetic implant.
