A synovial joint implantable apparatus for the reconstruction of skeletal defects with a flexible member, which is preferably resorbable, attached to a rigid structural prosthesis such as a total hip or total knee replacement implant. The cavitary space defined and surrounded by the flexible member is filled with osteoconductive and / or inductive materials which eventually matures into new column of bone. The prosthesis is supported by the bed of graft material surrounding it and is gradually unloaded as the bed matures into solid bone. The fixation of the prosthesis into native bone depends on the specific implant and the anatomic area of its use. The flexible member is secured to the margins of the prosthesis using rails, runners, sutures, or other attachment devices that prevent the escape of the bone graft and maintain an initial column of support for the implant. Should the metal implant even need removal, the reconstituted bone can be separated from the implant in such a way as to restore bone stock and facilitate future revision surgical procedures.

A tibial support structure includes a platform portion and a medullary portion that are monolithically formed as a single piece. The medullary and platform portions of the augment component are adapted to accommodate and mechanically attach to a tibial baseplate, and are individually shaped and sized to replace damaged bone stock both within the tibia, as well at the tibial proximal surface. The monolithic formation of the tibial support structure provides a strong and stable foundation for a tibial baseplate and facilitates restoration of the anatomic joint line, even where substantial resections of the proximal tibia have been made. The tibial support structure may be made of a bone-ingrowth material which facilitates preservation and rebuilding of the proximal tibia after implantation, while also preserving the restored joint line by allowing revision surgeries to be performed without removal of the tibial support structure.

A bone mill assembly provides a drive motor with a reducer. The drive motor is connected to a non-rotating coupler which is connected to a main drive cutting head. A mill housing consists of a manual feed chute or a pneumatic feed chute that shuttles the bone stock onto the main drive cutting head of the mill. The bone stock is ground to a smaller particle size and then shuttled by rotation onto a straight secondary blade. This chops the particle size even smaller and then is sized by an internal window sieve. If the particle size is small enough, the bone particulate passes through the sieve into a collection pan. If the particle size is too large, it will then be rotated back up within the housing to be processed again by the main cutting head. Different sizes of the main cutting head are used for customer specific applications.
