Abstract:
1. An orthopaedic three-dimensional tissue scaffold-implant for supporting tissue growth, the orthopaedic three-dimensional tissue scaffold-implant comprising: an inert, biocompatible material; a lattice forming a plurality of interconnected pores and including surfaces in three dimensions, the inert, biocompatible material applied to the surfaces of the lattice; at least one substance selected from the group consisting of a hyaluronan, dexamethasone, protein, peptide, transcript factor, cytokine, therapeutic agent, chitosan, polymer, osteogenic gene and growth factor applied to the inert, biocompatible material applied to the surfaces of the lattice; and living cells applied to the inert, biocompatible material applied to the surfaces of the lattice; wherein the lattice is a machined lattice machined to have a desired shape and size for subsequent implantation in a patient.
