    摘要: The invention relates to a joint prosthesis comprising two metal parts which are movable with respect to one another. The surfaces of the metal parts are covered with an abrasion layer of ceramic material which has a hardness which is greater than that of the carbides present in the metal. The carbides are worn away by the abrasion layer. As a result, the overall wear behavior of the two metal parts of the prosthesis is improved considerably, and the metal surface of the prosthesis parts is not affected by the carbides during movement. The metal components are preferably spaced apart from one another at a distance of at most 0.2 millimeter. This close fit improves the wear action. Owing to the relatively thin wear layer, the particles formed during the wearing process are small enough to be discharged into the space between the joint parts by synovial fluid.
