Abstract:
1. A method of making a prosthetic bone implant comprising: adding a porous component paste to one or more first molds, wherein the porous component paste comprises at least one calcium phosphate cement combined with at least one pore forming agent and at least one setting agent, wherein the setting agent comprises a liquid, and wherein the first molds are disposed in a second mold; adding a load bearing component paste to the second mold, wherein the load bearing component paste comprises at least one calcium phosphate cement combined with at least one setting agent, wherein the setting agent comprises a liquid; removing one or more of the first molds; displacing at least a portion of the liquid from the load bearing component paste and the porous component paste to form a hardened calcium phosphate article, the hardened calcium phosphate article comprising a load bearing component at least partially surrounding one or more porous components; and forming the prosthetic bone implant, wherein the prosthetic bone implant comprises the hardened calcium phosphate article.
