Abstract
This invention relates to an implant having the capability of being adjusted to fit symmetrical and asymmetrical shaped voids formed in the bone or outside the bone of a patient. The implant can be individualized so as to accommodate various distortion in the void and can be disposed as a series of similar shaped implants that have different dimensions and/or characteristics to allow the surgeon to select an appropriate implant from said series.
