HOLLOW ENDOPROTHESES WITH FILLING WHICH PROMOTES BONE GROWTH

摘要

The invention relates to an endoprosthesis which has at least one hollow structure which can be implanted in a bone bed and is provided with openings, where the hollow structure contains a filling which promotes bone growth and which consists of a material which forms a porous matrix and which contains one or more peptide growth factors. A prosthesis of this type shows improved healing-in behaviour and has a longer useful life.
