Implant which can be used as replacement for spongy bones - is built up from tolerated fibres which are implanted in bone cut=out

A network which is stable in structure, and space-filling is constructed from threads or fibres which will not be rejected by the body, and can be implanted as a replacement for spongy bones. The threads or fibres may be of metals, metal alloys, ceramics, carbon and/or synthetics. At their crossing points the threads are joined by welds, etc. A shaped object may be produced from the network by pressing or embossing and immediately after cutting or dividing, forms the implant. The network may be shaped into a wedge, square, disc, etc. or a core with an envelope. The process develops implantation techniques so that after a short time the defective bone structure can stand the stresses encountered during normal use.
