Based on a quick search, a small gap (less than 500 μm) between the implant and bone can actually support osseointegration by allowing trabeculae to form. 3D printed titanium has been used a lot for osseointegration.
- kstrauser 2y agoQuite possibly, but 1) you better be A-OK with having whatever it is permanently grow into your bone such that you'd have to carve it out with chisels or saws, and 2) you still need to hold it there long enough for that to happen, ideally without whatever mechanism you're using for that also being incorporated (like, literally incorporated).
