Abstract:
1. The method of producing a bone implant having a solid body structure having exposed surfaces; the method comprises the step of creating a bone formation enhancing 3-dimensional pattern by one of molding, etching, embossing, machining, masking, plasma deposition, plasma enhanced chemical deposition, additive fabrication, lasering, or assembling of layers of the pattern into one or more selected portions of the exposed surfaces; and wherein the one or more selected portions of the exposed surfaces having a porosity created by having the bone formation enhancing geometric 3-dimensional pattern duplicating or replicating the cancellous morphology of under-modelled pre-natal bone compared to an adult human bone by mimicking a marine or sea mammal bone structure or a pre-natal human bone structure wherein the bone formation enhancing repeatable geometric 3-dimensional pattern mimics or replicates the following characteristics of whale bone;
