Resorbable medical implants and related methods are disclosed for
placement against bone and/or for filling a void such as a void between
bones. The resorbable medical implants can be structured and configured
as desired, for example, to conform to surfaces of adjacent bones and/or
to conform to a desired bone shape for replacement otherwise. Short-term
fixation of the resorbable medical implants can advantageously assist in
promoting and allowing growth of new bone tissue into the implant as the
implant gradually resorbs. The implant can comprise a material that is
porous with microscopic and non-microscopic pores. In one aspect, the
resorbable implant can be shaped and used as a trapezium bone
replacement.
