Bone conduction chamber. The chamber consists of a threaded titanium cylinder, formed out of 2 half-cylinders held together by a hexagonal screw cap. The interior of the chamber is 7 mm long with a diameter of 2 mm. One end of the implant is screwed into the proximal tibia. At this end, there are 2 ingrowth openings each measuring 0.75 mm2, where tissue can grow in from the subcortical bone.
