ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a urethane-coated polyethylene terephthalate mesh bone induction tray, with a simulated condyle integrally affixed to the mesh tray without the use of metal pins, screws and the like. The invention lies in the integral affixing of a urethane plastic, e.g. polyether urethane simulated condyle to the end portion of a plastic mesh tray. The simulated condyle may be customized, i.e., premeasured for a particular patient before the operation, or may be custom-contoured from one of several pre-formed condyle/tray combinations having varying shapes or geometries. The condyle portion is further preferably reinforced with a core of stainless steel wire, e.g., a Kirschner rod or wire, running the length of the condyle portion and projecting beyond, into the tray, to permit embedding of the wire into the remaining osseous structure, thus anchoring the entire combination.
