Abstract:
An implant and process for manufacturing the implant for a joint of a patient comprises determining a dimension of a bone in the joint, generating a three-dimensional image of the bone, converting the image into a CAD model, determining a three-dimensional design for the implant according to the dimension of the bone, activating an electron beam melter, and additive-manufacturing the implant with the electron beam melter, the implant having a dimension equal to the dimension of the bone, the implant comprising a porous material. The porous material can be an osteoconductive material or an osteoinductive material or a combination thereof.
