Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004002543A1] A prosthetic device having at least part of its surface comprising a diffusion-hardened, in-situ formed oxidation or nitridation layer and with at least another part of its surface comprising a coating of bioceramic, preferably hydroxyapatite. The bone in-growth and on-growth promoting bioceramic further works synergistically with the diffusion-hardened surface in realizing a longer service life prosthetic.
