1. A three-dimensional resorbable medical implant, comprising:
- a first thin knitted porous component, anda first resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component, which is connected to the first thin knitted porous component;
wherein the resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component comprises an organized structure,wherein a height of the resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component is more than three times larger than a thickness of the thin knitted porous component,wherein the organized structure comprises at least one of(1) a corrugated structure having corrugations, the corrugations having a height more than three times larger than the thickness of the thin knitted porous component, or(2) a waffled structure, the waffled structure having a height more than three times larger than the thickness of the thin knitted porous component,wherein the resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component is a resorbable two-dimensional structure folded or shaped into a three-dimensional structure such that the height of the resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component is at least four times larger than a maximum thickness of the resorbable two-dimensional structure to create at least one of the corrugated or waffled structure.

11. A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional resorbable medical implant, comprising:
-
forming a resorbable two-dimensional structure into a three-dimensional resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component such that the resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component comprises an organized structure; and connecting the three-dimensional resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component to a thin knitted porous component to form a three-dimensional medical implant, wherein a height of the three-dimensional resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component is more than three times larger than a thickness of the thin knitted porous component, wherein the organized structure comprises at least one of (1) a corrugated structure having corrugations, the corrugations having a height more than three times larger than the thickness of the thin knitted porous component, or (2) a waffled structure, the waffled structure having a height more than three times larger than the thickness of the thin knitted porous component, wherein the resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component is the resorbable two-dimensional structure folded or shaped into a three-dimensional structure such that the height of the resorbable load-bearing and volume-creating component is at least four times larger than a maximum thickness of the resorbable two-dimensional structure to create the at least one corrugated or waffled structure. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
