1. A method of using an orthopaedic implant system, said method comprising the steps of: providing an orthopaedic implant defining a reservoir, said implant being an internal fixation device, said implant including a threaded section including said reservoir, said internal fixation device being a bone screw including an exterior surface, a head, and said threaded section, said head including a head channel fluidly communicating said reservoir with an exterior surface of said head, said threaded section including at least one threaded section channel, said at least one threaded section channel fluidly communicating said reservoir with said exterior surface of said bone screw, said implant including a continuously tapering inner surface between said head channel and said reservoir, each threaded section channel having an interior diameter and a length which is greater than said interior diameter, a channel diameter of said head channel being respectively larger than a largest interior diameter of each threaded section channel, said channel diameter of said head channel is the same as a large interior diameter of said reservoir;implanting said implant at a selected location within a corporeal body;receiving at least one therapeutic agent in said reservoir;conveying said at least one therapeutic agent from said reservoir to a treatment site relative to said corporeal body via said at least one threaded section channel; anddelivering said at least one therapeutic agent to said corporeal body. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one threaded section channel fluidly communicates said reservoir with said exterior surface of said bone screw and thereby convey said at least one therapeutic agent from said reservoir to said exterior surface of said bone screw. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said implant includes only one said reservoir. 4. The method of claim 1, further including refilling said reservoir with said at least one therapeutic agent after said implant has been implanted in said corporeal body. 5. The method of claim 1, further including delivering a plurality of therapeutic agents to said corporeal body via said reservoir and said at least one threaded section channel. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said reservoir receives said at least one therapeutic agent after said implant has been implanted in said corporeal body and then communicates said at least one therapeutic agent via said at least one threaded section channel to said treatment site. 7. A method of using an orthopaedic implant, said method comprising the steps of: providing an orthopaedic implant defining a reservoir, said implant including a threaded section, an exterior surface and a head, said threaded section including said reservoir, said head including a head channel fluidly communicating said reservoir with an exterior surface of said head, said threaded section including at least one threaded section channel, said at least one threaded section channel fluidly communicating said reservoir with said exterior surface of said implant, said implant including a continuously tapering inner surface between said head channel and said reservoir, each threaded section channel having an interior diameter and a length which is greater than said interior diameter, a channel diameter of said head channel being respectively larger than a largest interior diameter of each threaded section channel, said channel diameter of said head channel is the same as a large interior diameter of said reservoir;implanting said implant at a selected location within a corporeal body, said implant being implanted into only soft tissue of said corporeal body;receiving at least one therapeutic agent in said reservoir;conveying said at least one therapeutic agent from said reservoir to a treatment site relative to said corporeal body via said at least one threaded section channel; anddelivering said at least one therapeutic agent to said corporeal body. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said implant is implanted into at least one of a muscle, a ligament, a tendon, a joint capsule, a fibrous tissue, fat, a membrane, and cartilage of said corporeal body. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the orthopaedic implant is implanted in one of an arm, a hand, a foot, a leg, a hip joint, a knee joint, an ankle joint, a wrist, and a shoulder joint. 10. A method of using an orthopaedic implant system, said method comprising the steps of: providing an orthopaedic implant defining a reservoir, said implant including a threaded section, an exterior surface and a head, said threaded section including said reservoir, said head including a head channel fluidly communicating said reservoir with an exterior surface of said head, said threaded section including at least one threaded section channel, said at least one threaded section channel fluidly communicating said reservoir with said exterior surface of said implant, said implant including a continuously tapering inner surface between said head channel and said reservoir, each threaded section channel having an interior diameter and a length which is greater than said interior diameter, a channel diameter of said head channel being respectively larger than a largest interior diameter of each threaded section channel, said channel diameter of said head channel is the same as a large interior diameter of said reservoir, said orthopaedic implant being configured for being implanted in a bone and for delivering at least one therapeutic agent at least one of directly within a joint capsule and to said bone;implanting said implant at a selected location within a corporeal body, said selected location being said bone;receiving at least one therapeutic agent in said reservoir;conveying said at least one therapeutic agent from said reservoir to a treatment site relative to said corporeal body via said plurality of channels; anddelivering said at least one therapeutic agent to said corporeal body and thereby delivering said at least one therapeutic agent at least one of directly within said joint capsule and to said bone.
