A prosthesis may have an articulating component formed via casting and a 3D printed bone anchoring component with a joint-facing side and a bone-facing side. The bone-facing side may have a bone engagement surface with a porous structure with pores selected to facilitate in-growth of the bone into the pores. The bone facing side may further have a surface layer of Titanium Dioxide nanotubes. The joint-facing side may be secured to the articulating component by melting Titanium nanoparticles at a temperature below the melting temperatures of the major constituents of the articulating component and/or the bone anchoring component, such as Cobalt, Chromium, and/or Titanium, so as to avoid significantly modifying the crystalline structures of the articulating component and/or the bone anchoring component. The melting temperature of the Titanium nanoparticles may be about 500&#xb0; C.

Composite joint arthroplasty systems and methods

A method for promoting soft tissue to soft tissue growth, soft tissue to bone tissue growth or bone tissue to bone tissue growth including coating the soft tissue or bone tissue with a nano-composition that encourages growth and photonically curing the composition to the soft tissue or bone tissue after it has been coated such that the soft tissue or bone tissue is not substantially damaged. A photonic curing system for use in repairing hard or soft tissue in a medical procedure is also provided includes a coating device for coating the tissue with a nano-composition that encourages growth, and a curing device for curing the composition to the tissue after it has been coated such that the first tissue is not substantially damaged.
