摘要：
A device for releasing a therapeutic agent in the body space in the form of a prosthetic joint implant having a first portion such as a stemmed portion for contacting bone tissue in an intramedullary canal of a long bone. The implant has a second portion which extends into the body space such as a joint space. The joint component contains a reservoir filled with a bioabsorbable/resorbable polymer which includes a therapeutic agent. The reservoir is open or in contact with the joint space as the body fluid diffuses in and out of the polymeric device it carries the drug into the joint space.
