A PROSTHESIS COMPONENT

摘要

A prosthesis component which is to be implanted in a patient and retained in situ by means of an adhesive bond between a bonding surface of the component and another surface, in which the bonding surface of the component has an array of discrete formations (3) formed on it. The configuration of the formations (3) can be generally part-spherical. The formations (3) enhance the connnection between the bonding surface of the component and the surface to which the surface is to be bonded.
