A stem-like bone implant (10) includes longitudinal structural members (16A) and tension cables (31) that provide curvature control, support and rigidity against bending and buckling. The longitudinal structural members (16A) and tension cables (31) may become an integral part of a composite regenerated bone having a substantially increased strength over natural bone. The flexibility of the implant (10) is controlled by specifically varying the structural geometry of certain portions of the implant and by adjusting the tension in the tension cables (31) before, during and after the implantation operation to thereby adjust the stiffness of the implant. The tension cables (31) may be adjusted to produce asymmetric or non-uniform levels of tension in the longitudinal structural members (16A).
La présente invention concerne un implant (10) osseux de type tige comprenant des éléments structurels longitudinaux (16A) et des câbles de traction(31) assurant une régulation de la courbure, un support et une rigidité contre la flexion et le gondolement. Les éléments structurels longitudinaux (16A) et les câbles de traction (31) peuvent devenir partie intégrante d'un os régénéré composite présentant une force sensiblement accrue par rapport à l'os naturel. On règle la flexibilité et la rigidité de l'implant (10) en variant de manière spécifique la géométrie structurelle de certaines parties de l'implant et en réglant la tension des câbles de traction (31) avant, pendant et après l'opération d'implantation. On peut régler les câbles de traction (31) afin d'obtenir des niveaux asymétriques ou non homogènes de tension dans les éléments structurels longitudinaux (16A).
