Abstract: A pure titanium implant having tightly captured bone therethrough is provided to dramatically reduce the nuturing period prior to the time that an implant may be utilized, by providing osteointegration or bone growth guided through the implant, in addition to any osseointegration or bone to titanium adhesion. In one embodiment, rings of compacted lyophylised or freeze-dried bone are secured between dove tailed, pure-titanium rings to a central implant shaft to guide bone growth through the implant from one side to the other for improved implant anchoring, without infection or rejection. In another embodiment, the implant includes a pure-titanium body having lateral channels completely through the implant, with bone rigidly secured in the channels to guide bone growth completely through the implant.
