An orthopedic prosthesis for implantation into a bone of a patient
includes a porous metal shell adapted to be affixed within the bone. The
porous metal shell includes an outer surface adapted to receive bone
ingrowth and an inner surface adapted to engage a liner. The porous metal
shell is porous from the outer surface to the inner surface. A non-porous
member may be affixed to the porous metal shell. The non-porous member
may include a piercing member extending from the outer surface, the
piercing member adapted to penetrate the bone in an implanted position.
The non-porous member may include spikes or fins. In one example, the
piercing member may define a reduced material cross section at an
interface with the outer surface of the porous metal shell. The piercing
member may be adapted to be broken at the reduced material cross section
and removed from the porous metal shell.
