Regenerative bone putty systems, methods, and devices

Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices disclosed herein include a bone healing system comprising a regenerative bone healing structure formed at a target area of a damaged bone. The regenerative bone healing structure includes a regenerative putty and one or more reinforcement structure(s). The reinforcement structure(s) are configured to be positioned around the target area of the damaged bone. The regenerative putty has a composition including a matrix material and a bone growth compound. Also, the regenerative putty is operable to fill a space formed by the reinforcement structure. The method(s) include positioning the reinforcement structure(s) around the target area such that the reinforcement structures define an open lattice space operable to receive the putty. The method(s) also include positioning the regenerative putty at the open lattice space such that the regenerative putty fills the target area. Additionally, the method(s) include causing bone growth at the target area with the regenerative putty.
