A foot/ankle implant anatomically-shaped for implantation between two bone
portions of the foot or ankle to correct associated deformities. The
foot/ankle implant has a peripheral wall surrounding a central bore
therethrough and defining an annular cross-section. The wall is
constructed from a composite material that includes a ceramic component
and a polymer component. The ceramic component is gradually resorbed
after implantation, and the polymeric component gradually degrades after
implantation.
