Abstract: An orthopaedic implant having a bone-engaging layer configured to contact bone and provide antimicrobial properties and methods for making the same.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a prosthetic component include injection molding a prosthetic component with a polymeric material. The prosthetic component includes a final surface positioned on one side and multiple coring features positioned on an opposite side. The coring features may include multiple ribs and slots. The method further includes machining the prosthetic component to remove the coring features and form a final surface on the opposite side. The prosthetic component may be a femoral component for a prosthetic knee joint.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for controlling delivery of a therapeutic coating to a medical implant device. An identifier of the medical implant device may be received. It may be determined, based at least in part on the first identifier, that the first medical implant device is approved to receive the therapeutic coating. A coating applicator system may be switched from a locked state in which it is prohibited from applying the therapeutic coating to an unlocked state in which it is permitted to apply the therapeutic coating. The coating applicator system may, while in the unlocked state, apply the therapeutic coating to the first medical implant device. After the applying of the therapeutic coating, the coating applicator system may be switched from the unlocked state back to the locked state.

Abstract: An orthopaedic prosthesis includes a femoral component comprising polymeric materials. The polymeric materials may include a polyaromatic ether or a polyacetal. The orthopaedic prosthesis may include a component having an articular layer and a support layer adjacent the articular layer. The support layer may include a reinforcement fiber. The orthopaedic prosthesis may be a knee prosthesis.
