The adaptive bone tissue ingrowth into the pore space of a porous coating on orthopaedic implants is influenced by the structural-osteoinductive properties of this coating. The effective bone tissue ingrowth determines the proper fixation of the porous implant in its bony surroundings. The adequate evaluation of the structural-adaptive compatibility of bone-implant interface can be performed on the basis of the two-phase poroelastic biomechanical model of bone tissue and of implant porous coatings with the set of original parameters characterizing the poroaccessibility of implant porous coatings: the effective volumetric porosity φVef, the index of the porous coating space capacity VPM, the effective pore depth ρdef, the representative surface porosity φSrep, the representative pore size ρSrep, the representative angle of the poroaccessibility Ωrep, the index of the enlargement of the adhesive surface of bone-implant interface Ψ, which is proposed in (Mielniczuk et al., 2006; Winiecki et al., 2006; Uklejewski et al., 2005a and 2005b; Winiecki, 2006) to the biostructural evaluation of the porous coated orthopedic implants. This paper presents the results of experimental investigations of the microgeometrical properties of implants porous coatings made with contact profile measurement on the representative examples of endoprostheses stems.
