ABSTRACT:
A porous implant system includes a gradient source adapted for transferring a gradient to an interface connected to an implant at a patient situs. The gradient source is controlled by a programmable controller. The implant is bonded to the patient by tissue ingrowth, which is facilitated by the gradient formed across the porous portion of the implant. A treatment method and includes the steps of providing a porous implant, connecting same to a gradient source through an interface, forming a gradient across the implant and controlling the operation of the gradient source according to a predetermined and preprogrammed treatment protocol.
