Abstract: Various embodiments of implant systems and related apparatus, and methods of operating the same are described herein. In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure, including a space truss, configured to interface with human bone tissue. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes. Implants are optimized for the expected stress applied at the bone structure site.

Abstract: An orthopedic implant that includes an implant body having a bone contact surface to be in contact or near contact with a bone structure during use, wherein the bone contact surface has a bone interface structure protruding therefrom. The bone interface structure includes a first elongated portion to be at least partially pressed into the bone structure during use, and a second elongated portion to be at least partially pressed into the bone structure during use. The second elongated portion is coupled to the first elongated portion and extends from the first elongated portion at an angle oblique to the first elongated portion.
Abstract: In various embodiments, an implant for interfacing with a bone structure includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue. In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes accessing an intersomatic space and inserting an implant into the intersomatic space. The implant includes a web structure including a space truss. The space truss includes two or more planar truss units having a plurality of struts joined at nodes and the web structure is configured to interface with human bone tissue.
