Abstract
The present invention generally relates to an orthopedic implant. Specifically, the present invention relates to an implant that incorporates a purposefully designed material that optimizes bony ingrowth combined with a support material configured to provide structural integrity.
Claims20
An orthopedic implant comprising:
- a porous section, the porous section comprising,
- a porous inner portion for the promotion of bony ingrowth, and
- a non-porous wall forming a shell around at least a portion of the porous inner portion;
- a support section that provides structural support to the orthopedic implant, the support section comprising one or more inner walls that define a chamber configured to retain the porous section, wherein the inner walls abut with the non-porous wall of the porous section;
- and
- a lattice structure extending from an outer surface of the non-porous wall of the porous section and into the inner walls of the support section.
3 more elements
An orthopedic implant comprising:
- a porous section, the porous section comprising,
- a porous inner portion defined by a network of interconnected nonuniform channels that form a nonuniform web to provide a region of varying porosity within the orthopedic implant for bony ingrowth, and
- a non-porous wall forming a shell around the porous inner potion, wherein the non-porous wall has an opening that leaves a portion of the porous inner portion uncovered and exposed to an outer surface of the orthopedic implant;
- and
- a support section that provides structural support for the orthopedic implant, the support section comprising,
- an inner chamber configured to retain the porous section, wherein the inner chamber surrounds the non-porous wall of the porous section, and
- one or more outer walls, wherein at least one of the outer walls is formed with a recess that aligns with the opening in the non-porous wall.
4 more elements
An orthopedic implant comprising:
- a porous section comprising,
- a porous inner portion defined by a network of interconnected nonuniform channels that form a nonuniform web to provide a region of varying porosity within the orthopedic implant for bony ingrowth, and
- one or more non-porous exterior walls forming a shell around the porous inner portion, wherein a lattice structure extends from a surface of at least one of the one or more non-porous exterior walls;
- and
- a support section configured to retain the porous section, the support section being formed with a hollow recess that is configured to enable contact between the porous inner portion of the porous section and bone after the orthopedic implant is implanted.
