Abstract

An implant includes a single moulded implant body and a plurality of wire anchoring arms moulded into and extending substantially laterally from the moulded ceramic implant body for filling a bore hole in a skull. The implant will not only provide filling of the bone defect, but also provide fixation of the bone flap. Methods for forming such implants and methods for using the implants for filing a bore hole in a skull are described.
