ABSTRACT:
An implant system and a method for delivering a dosage of radiation to targeted tissue. The system comprises a prosthetic device that functionally replaces or is additive to a body structure or joint, and a radio source material. The radio source material is positioned either on or within the prosthetic device. The actual radiation delivery distribution field has a similar configuration to the profile of the targeted tissue. The implant system is particularly useful for inhibiting heterotopic ossification.
