A vertebral body spacer of the present invention is used by being inserted between a vertebral body and a vertebral body (intervertebral space). The vertebral body spacer has a block body constituted of titanium or a titanium alloy as a main component thereof, and provided with a pair of contact surfaces to be made contact with the vertebral body and the vertebral body. The block body includes needle parts formed into a needle shape having both end portions and a porous part having through holes passing through the porous part in a thickness direction thereof, and a porosity of at least a surface of the porous part is larger than a porosity of each of the needle parts. The needle parts are inserted into the through holes so that the both end portions are projected from the contact surfaces.

The present disclosure discloses the hip prosthesis containing zirconium-niobium alloy on oxidation layer and a preparation method thereof, the hip prosthesis comprises a femoral stem, a femoral head, liners and a shell; the shell and femoral stem are prepared by using zirconium-niobium alloy powder as a raw material, and performing Sinter-HIP, cryogenic cooling and surface oxidation; the prepared shell and femoral stem are provided with partitioned trabeculae and formed by 3D printing. The problem of traditional manufacturing methods cannot process complex structures and failure of connection between sleeve and femoral handle is solved by 3D printing technology. Meanwhile, the preparation method can improve the bonding strength between trabecular bone and solid, and improve the service life of prosthesis.

An orthopaedic implant includes a femoral component having a metallic zirconium and niobium coating disposed therein. A method of making the femoral component using direct energy deposition or co-molding is also disclosed.
