    摘要: A load bearing implant comprising a femoral implant stem made from a bio-compatible metal having an elastic modulus far greater than that of natural bone. When the implant heals within a bone cavity, the implant essentially carries substantially the entire load. Transfer of load to the surrounding bone tissue is lost due to lack of use after healing. Flexing a stiff implant applies a large load at the implant distal end. The bone cortex is thereby allowed to thicken, causing thigh pain long after implant healing. The femoral implant has a bone ingrowth coating on the proximal end, allowing firm attachment of the implant in the bone cavity. The distal end has a central aperture and a helical machined groove that permits flexing of the distal portion of the femoral implant stem. This flexing occurs in a manner similar to surrounding bone tissue, preventing thigh pain.

    摘要: A drug delivery and diagnostic system can include an orthopedic implant having an outer attachment surface. A conduit can be coupled to the outer attachment surface. The conduit can have an inlet and a plurality of perforations formed along a length thereof. The conduit can be adapted to pass fluid between the inlet and the perforations. A subcutaneous port can be fluidly coupled to the inlet and be adapted to communicate fluid through the inlet, along the conduit and out of the perforations around and along the outer attachment surface of the orthopedic implant.
