Abstract
The disclosure relates to methods of making an osteoconductive polymer article for use as an orthopedic implant comprises steps of forming an article from a biocompatible, non-biodegradable polymer, the article comprising a non-flat surface with roughness Ra of at least 5 μm; providing a dispersion of bioactive ceramic particles of particle size at most 10 μm in a first solvent comprising a solvent for the polymer; coating at least the non-flat surface with the dispersion in at least one step; and rinsing the coated article with a second solvent being a non-solvent for the polymer to substantially remove the first solvent.
