Computational modelling is a promising and ethical reasonable method in implant development. A computational model for bone ingrowth on implant level length scale has been implemented and applied for an open‐pored space‐filling bone substitute. First numerical simulations showed reasonable results for the average bone density and the effective Young's modulus of the bone‐implant‐compound.
