  • ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT HAVING MECHANICAL INTERLOCKING SUBUNITS AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20230157828
    Abstract: A tibial implant may include a plurality of geometrically conformal implant subunits. The implant subunits may be configured for individual insertion within a wedge-shaped-void of the tibia. The implant subunits may further be configured for assembly in order to provide an implant substantially covering an exposed portion of cortical bone formed when performing a surgical osteotomy. In some embodiments, some or all of the plurality of subunits may be mechanically interlocked with each other. Methods and kits for insertion and assembly of implants are further described.
