Bone ingrowth
Bone ingrowth refers to the process where new bone tissue naturally develops and integrates into a porous or specialized surface, such as an implant or prosthesis. This allows the implant to become securely anchored in the body, enhancing stability and long-term success. Essentially, the body's bone cells grow into the tiny spaces within the material, creating a strong bond that mimics natural bone attachment. This process is essential for the durability of certain medical devices, like joint replacements or dental implants, ensuring they function effectively over time through biological integration.
