| 摘要 |
A bone fixation method including: (a) depth-penetrating a bone with a bone-fixation device, (b) by such depth-penetrating, establishing a condition of selectively variable, inclined-surface frictional contact between the device and the bone, where the magnitude of friction in such contact is variable in relation to the depth of bone penetration by the device, and (c) following the establishing step, producing a bone-ingrowth anchoring interface between the device and the bone. Also disclosed is an implantable, plural-interactive-mechanism, bone-fixation device which is constructed to employ collectively, when in place in relation to an associated bone, cooperative (a) tapered wedging, (b) bone-material displacement, and (c) promoted bone ingrowth, as bone-anchoring mechanisms.
