Medical Implant for Fixation and Integration with Hard Tissue

摘要

The invention relates to medical implants, including spinal implants and bone grafts, for fixation and integration with hard tissue. The bone medical implants include at least one rotational fixation mechanism that further includes or is attached to one or more sharp protrusions configured to penetrate and become lodged into hard tissue to provide support and positional stability. Such support is useful to ensure that the spinal bone graft may be used without additional stabilizing or anchoring structures, such as supporting plates or screws.

主权项

1. A compound medical implant for fixation and integration with hard tissue, the implant comprising:
one or more rotational fixation mechanisms centered on an axis; and one or more sharp protrusions attached to each of the one or more rotational fixation mechanisms, each sharp protrusion designed to penetrate and become lodged into hard tissue at an integration site, wherein the one or more rotational fixation mechanisms are designed to be rotatable around the axis.
