Abstract
An orthopaedic implant includes a support body with a first side having a first inner surface and a second side connected to the first side and having a second inner surface and an outer surface. The first inner surface and the second inner surface each have channels formed within that combine to form a reservoir within the support body. A bone ingrowth layer is attached to the outer surface of the second side.
