Ceramic coated orthopaedic implants

摘要

A method of making an orthopaedic implant component uses a metal component which has been pressed using hot isostatic pressing and homogenised. A ceramic coating is provided on the pressed and homogenised component by depositing a first band of the ceramic coating upon the pressed and homogenised metal substrate, and depositing a second band of the ceramic coating upon the first band of the ceramic coating.
