Abstract
A biocompatible and biodegradable implant for a cavity in a bone of a living organism is made of biocompatible and biodegradable granules. The biocompatible and biodegradable granules are provided with a coating, which includes at least one layer of a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer. The biocompatible and biodegradable implants are obtained by fusing together the polymer-coated granules through polymer-linkage of the polymer coatings of neighboring granules.
