Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to improving bonding between orthopedic devices, particularly vertebral devices, and bone. The present invention provides various methods and devices employing mechanical and bio-fixation modalities for such attachment. As provided herein, the initial mechanical attachment of a device to bone is sufficiently stable to ensure that the implanted device is relatively immobile (or alternatively microscopic motion is promoted), facilitating bone and soft tissue in-growth and the eventual bio-fixation of the device.
