an implant including a baseplate and an augment;
wherein the baseplate includes a plate body extending between front and rear faces, and the front face is configured to face towards an opposed articular surface associated with a bone;
wherein the augment includes an augment body extending from the rear face of the plate body, and the augment body includes a network of internal passages that branch to respective ports along an external surface of the augment body;
wherein the implant includes an interface aperture defined along an external surface of the implant;
wherein the network includes a main trunk, and the internal passages divide from the main trunk into branched paths at respective junctions such that at least two of the junctions are established between the interface aperture and each of the respective ports; and
