Abstract
Methods for correcting defects at bone repair sites are provided, which use a moldable, post-implantable bone conforming material. The method includes the steps of preparing a bone conforming material, shaping the moldable paste, curing the paste to form a hardened implant, disposing the implant at a repair site, allowing tissue to overlay the repair site during healing and if necessary, further molding the implant to the desired contours of the bony structure being repaired for up to eight weeks after the surgery by applying pressure to the tissue overlaying the implant.
