Abstract
Implants, systems and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. The implants are formed from one or more coils, preferably a plurality of coils. Optionally the coils are included in a set or group of more than one coil. Optionally, the implant is symmetric about one or more planes. Typically an implant includes at least two coils (or sets or groups of coils) that are adjacent to each other intersect with each other at one or more intersection regions. Two or more coils may intersect at a plurality of intersection regions, optionally along an array of intersection regions, within the implant or on the outer side wall of the implant. Optionally, the implants include one or more plates to aid in fixation and/or insertion. The implants may be used in a variety of different spaces in the body that require bone growth.
