  • Publication number: 20230240853
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, an artificial joint shell includes a base and a coating film. The base has a cup shape and includes an outer surface including a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region. The coating film contains a calcium phosphate-based material and an antimicrobial material and is disposed across the first region and the second region of the outer surface of the base. A surface of the coating film in the first region has a larger surface roughness than a surface of the coating film in the second region.

  • Publication number: 20230173139
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, an artificial joint stem includes a base extending in a vertical direction when a proximal side of a human body in use is defined as an upward direction, and a coating film containing a calcium phosphate-based material and an antimicrobial material disposed on a part of the base. The base includes one or more boundary lines on the base defined by a presence or absence of the coating film. The one or more boundary lines include a first boundary line located on a lower side of the base with respect to the coating film. The first boundary line is located so as to intersect the vertical direction. A component along the vertical direction of the first boundary line is smaller than a component along a width direction of the base.
