Abstract
A bone implant kit includes an implant and first and second electrical stimulation anchors. The implant defines an inner surface inner configured to face a bone to which the bone implant kit is configured to attach, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The implant further defines first and second bone fixation holes that each extend from the inner surface to the outer surface. The first and second bone fixation holes are spaced from each other along a longitudinal direction. The first electrical stimulation anchor can be sized and configured for insertion into the first bone fixation hole, and the second electrical stimulation anchor can be sized and configured for insertion into the second bone fixation hole. The first and second electrical stimulation anchors can be configured to respond to a magnetic field so as to generate an electric field between the first and second electrical stimulated anchors.
