The Filed Of Orthopedic Implant

A spinal implant is directed to an orthopedic implant

. More specifically, the orthopedic implant is suitable for arthroplasty procedures where optimized multifunctional behavior of the implant is desired. The implant may include the ability for load sharing between the implant and host bone, and the restoration of motion, such as in the replacement of a spinal disc.

Disclosed is an orthopedic implant suitable for arthroplasty procedures. The orthopedic implant includes a first plate, a second plate, an axial support between the first plate and the second plate and one or more torsional supports connecting the first plate and the second plate. The axial support may be, for example, one or more flexible struts, such as cables, or a ball and socket joint. The torsional supports connect the first and second plates and may be, for example, curved around the axial support. The torsional supports may be integrally formed with the first and second plates as a single unitary device, by, for example, a Laser Engineered Net Shape (LENS) process.

Accordingly, one embodiment of the capsule filling machine is directed to an orthopedic implant including a first plate, a second plate, an axial support between the first plate and the second plate, and one or more torsional supports connecting the first plate and the second plate. The torsional supports, the first plate and the second plate may be integrally formed.

Having thus described at least one preferred embodiment of the stretcher and method of the invention, various alterations, modifications and improvements will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Such alterations, modifications and improvements are intended to be part of the disclosure and to be within the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the foregoing description is by way of example only and is limited only as defined in the following claims and equivalents thereto.
