First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of facilitating growth of bone at a desired location comprising:
- obtaining a biocompatible, non-resorbable porous material comprising a porous matrix of interconnected pores;
shaping the porous material into a shaped porous material for placement into the desired location;
placing a bone graft material inside the shaped porous material;
stably fixing the shaped porous material containing the bone graft material to structures adjacent to the desired location; and
,permitting bone to grow in the desired location.

Abstract
The present invention provides biocompatible, non-resorbable porous containment structures for containment of bone graft material at a desired location for stimulation of bone growth. The porous containment structures have interconnected pores sized to allow fibrovascular integration with surrounding tissue and conduction of vascular tissue through the structure into the bone graft material.
