Abstract: A load-bearing implant includes a body with a shape fabricated using selective laser sintering, the body being made of Polyetherketoneketone, at least one reservoir forming an internal cavity inside the body, the reservoir having an opening that provides fluid access to the internal cavity from outside the body, at least one fluid channel extending through the body between the at least one reservoir and an exterior surface of the body, and a fluid stored in the reservoir, the fluid facilitating osseointegration between the body and a bone. The at least one fluid channel communicates the fluid from the reservoir to the exterior surface of the body and provides a controlled rate of delivery of the fluid through at least one outlet in the exterior surface of the body.

Abstract: A device for adapting a surface roughness of bone, the device comprising: a hollow body having a delivery tip at a distal end, the body being removeably attachable to a handle; a means for supplying fluid to and from the delivery tip to impart a surface roughness similar to that of a bone fracture surface. A device for adapting a surface roughness of bone, the device comprising: a body having an impacting tip at a distal end, the body or the impacting tip being removeably attachable to a handle; a means for generating reciprocating motion of the impacting tip, wherein the impacting tip is arranged to impart a surface roughness similar to that of a bone fracture surface.
