A bone screw anchor capable of securely fastening a fixation device to weak or brittle bone. The anchor includes a distal region terminating in an open aperture or a solid tapered terminus. The distal region may include cutting flutes and a helical thread extending through an intermediate region, so as to make the anchor self-cutting. The proximal region has a receptor for receiving a driver for driving the anchor within a bore or hole within the bone. The anchor has an interior bore with internal threads for receiving a bone screw used to secure a fixation device to the anchor. The bore may have a plurality of ports providing passage to the exterior of the anchor. Once seated entirely within the receptor, the anchor's position is secured using bone cement. Bone cement is delivered to the bore or hole before the anchor is placed in the receptor or after via the ports.

One or more scaffolds may be placed on the target portion, and bone cement may be positioned adjacent to the scaffold(s) to define a raised surface that provides better fit and / or function than that which would be obtained with placement on the recessed surface. The arthroplasty prosthesis may be secured to the raised surface through the use of the bone cement.

The invention belongs to the technical field of surgical implants and relates to an artificial joint prosthesis with biologically activated surface. The biological activation layer formed on the surface of the artificial joint prosthesis has good biocompatibility and bioactivity and forms natural chemical bonding with the bone tissues, thus improving the bond strength between the prosthesis and the bone tissues, ensuring the stress transfer to be more reasonable and reducing the negative effect of stress shielding. The biological activation layer on the surface of the artificial joint prosthesis is formed by chemical reaction and forms chemical bonding with the matrix, therefore, the problem that the biological activation layer on the surface sheds is avoided, thus ensuring the postoperative long-term effect of the prosthesis. The artificial joint prosthesis is biologically fixed; therefore, wear particles produced when bone cement is adopted for fixation are avoided, thus reducing the possibility of occurrence of aseptic loosening. Besides, the artificial joint prosthesis adopts simple raw materials and process, has low cost and is easy to realize.

The present invention disclosed resolves the main problems of bone-sparing hip resurfacing surgery by using only an acetabular component in which the femoral head articulates, being only shaved to a spherical shape and cleared of osteophytes that could impinge on the acetabulum and so restrict the range of motion. The inner surface of the resurfacing cup is aspherical in shape creating an annular contact with the femoral head. The inner, articulating surface of the cup (10) is ADLC or pyrolytic carbon coated to reduce friction and wear of the femoral head. The surgical approach is well developed with surgery time significantly reduced by avoiding the use of the femoral resurfacing component. The cup is preferably of the double¬shell type for cementless fixation, but it can also be made as a single shell for cementless or cemented fixation. Should a revision surgery due to wear of the femoral head become necessary, the cup can be retained and combined with a dual mobility femoral component.
