Abstract

A bone insert includes a cap having a convex top surface made from a plurality of cap micro struts, an elongated stem made from a plurality of stem micro struts, and a barrier between the cap and the stem. The stem of the bone insert is inserted into a hole formed in a host bone until the barrier is pressed against the exposed bone. The bone implant can be placed against a small focus contact point on the cap. Liquid cement can be injected into a large center hole in the cap and the cement can flow through the fenestrations between all of the cap micro struts as well as the space between the bone implant and the bone. The cement can cure to create a high strength structure that provides a strong bond between the bone implant and the host bone.

Claims (26)

1. A bone insert comprising:

a cap having a plurality of fenestrations providing multiple flow paths through the cap for liquid cement wherein the cap contains the liquid cement in the fenestrations and surrounding a plurality of cap micro struts;

an elongated stem having bone ingrowth surface fenestrations on an outer surface of the elongated stem; and

a solid barrier structure between a lower surface of the cap and an upper surface of the elongated stem wherein the barrier physically separates the cap from the elongated stem and prevents the liquid cement from flowing from the cap into the elongated stem.

2. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein the cap has a plurality of cap micro struts that are coupled to each other at junctions to form a lattice structure.

3. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein the cap has a plurality of cap micro struts or a plurality of stem micro struts that have a cross section diameter between 25-750 microns.

4. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein an upper surface of the cap forms a convex surface that provides a focal offset for a bone implant.

5. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein the barrier structure has an outer diameter that is equal to or greater than a width of the elongated stem and equal to or greater than a width of the cap.

6. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein the liquid cement is poly(methyl methacrylate) cement.

7. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein a modulus of elasticity of the elongated stem is between 10,000 and 23,000 MPa.

8. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein a longitudinal modulus of elasticity of the elongated stem is different than a transverse modulus of elasticity of the elongated stem.

9. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein a lower surface of the barrier structure adjacent to the elongated stem has bone ingrowth surface features.

10. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein a cap micro strut volume is less than 30% of a total cap volume.

11. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein a stem micro strut volume is less than 40% of a total stem volume.

12. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein a diameter of the cap is between 5 mm and 60 mm and a diameter of the elongated stem is between 2 mm and 30 mm.

13. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein the cap includes a center orifice at a geometric center of the cap that is an inlet for the multiple flow paths through the cap for the liquid cement.

14. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein the cap has a center tool recess having a symmetric polygon cross section, wherein the symmetric polygon cross section has a geometric center that is aligned with a center axis of the cap and the elongated stem.

15. The bone insert of claim 1 wherein the cap has a plurality of cap micro struts and some of the plurality of cap micro struts form a center tool recess having a symmetric polygon cross section and an extraction surface feature, wherein the symmetric polygon cross section has a geometric center that is aligned with a center axis of the cap and the elongated stem.

16. A bone insert comprising:

a cap having a plurality of cap micro struts and fenestrations between the plurality of cap micro struts that provide multiple flow paths through the cap for liquid cement wherein the cap contains the liquid cement in the fenestrations and surrounding a plurality of cap micro struts;

an elongated stem having a plurality of stem micro struts and bone ingrowth surface features on outer surfaces of the plurality of stem micro struts; and

a solid barrier structure between a lower surface of the cap and an upper surface of the elongated stem wherein the barrier physically separates the cap from the elongated stem and prevents the liquid cement from flowing from the cap into the elongated stem.

17. The bone insert of claim 16 wherein the plurality of cap micro struts have a cross section diameter between 25-750 microns and the plurality of stem micro struts have a cross section diameter between 25-750 microns.

18. The bone insert of claim 16 wherein an upper surface of the cap forms a convex surface that provides a focal offset for a bone implant.

19. The bone insert of claim 16 wherein a modulus of elasticity of the elongated stem is between 10,000 and 23,000 MPa.

20. The bone insert of claim 16 wherein a cap micro strut volume is less than 30% of a total cap volume and a stem micro strut volume is less than 40% of a total stem volume.
