There is disclosed a prosthesis comprising a prosthetic element (2) to be secured in a bone cavity by bone cement. The prosthetic element has a surface adapted to be fixedly attached to the bone to which a polymethylmethacrylate film is fixedly adhered to enhance the bonding capability of the surface with the bone cement. The polymethylmethacrylate film (3) is adhered to the prosthetic element (2) by a process which comprises treating the prosthetic element surface to eliminate any weak boundary layer, applying polymethylmethacrylate to the treated surface, and thereafter annealing the polymethylmethacrylate film (3). <IMAGE> |
