A method for joining two or more segments of a bone implant comprises the steps of placing a plurality of thin layers of an intermetallic material between first and second segments of the bone implant and applying a mechanical load to the plurality of layers. In a subsequent step, the plurality of layers are ignited by applying an external activation energy thereto, the ignition heating the plurality of layers to a reaction temperature and causing the segments to become affixed to one another after cooling.一種將骨植入物的兩部份或更多部份連接在一起的方法，包括以下步驟：將多個介金屬材料薄層置於骨植入物的第一和第二部份之間，以及向所述多個層施加機械負荷。在隨後的步驟中，藉由向所述多個層施加外部啟動能而將所述多個層灼燒，灼燒將所述多個層加熱至反應溫度，並使各部份在冷卻後彼此固定。
