OSTEOGENIC PROSTHESIS, ASSOCIATED INSTRUMENT, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prosthetic implant for securing to bone to form an articulating joint.

SOLUTION: The implant is prepared by a process which includes the steps of preparing a porous surface on a component to form a prosthetic implant, placing the prosthetic implant including the porous surface in a fixture closely conforming to the porous surface of the implant and having an inlet and an opposed outlet, and directing a biological compound including stem cells from the inlet, through the porous surface of the implant and to the outlet to form a prosthetic implant having a porous surface coated with a portion of the biological compound.
